Racism in Cuba: banned by law, alive on the streets

Six decades on from Cuba's proclamation of equality and despite three top government officials being black, the Caribbean island nation has made little headway on racism. "Racism in Cuba is very hypocritical ... No-one says they're racist, even if they are," researcher Tomas Fernandez, 79, an author of several books on the subject, told AFP. Cuba used to have an open problem with racism until the communist revolution of 1959.
