And yes, I know my country's story. I even know that the Portuguese raped thousands of native and slave women. I also know that there was a RACIST STATE POLICY to attract European immigrants to Brazil after the end of slavery (they did not provide jobs for blacks) There was even a eugenic...

I commented on Australia precisely because it is something new for me (don't assume everyone knows everything you know) I already knew about the Irish issue in the USA, but not about discrimination against southern Europeans in Australia. I found it shocking that a man was killed. I saw the news...

I have European (including Italians from the whole maternal side) AFRICAN and native ancestry. I don't have time for the idiotic war between Iberians and Italians. I don't give a shit about this silly dispute over pigmentation. Give me a break. This is about DISCRIMINATION !

The Melanocortin-1 Receptor (MC1R) is a G-protein coupled receptor, which is responsible for production of the darker eumelanin pigment and the tanning response. The MC1R gene has many polymorphisms, some of which have been linked to variation in pigmentation phenotypes within human populations...
