> You literally cannot say "I hate <insert race>".

Unless the “race” in question is white. In that case, you can absolutely say that, as has been done by government officials of the current administration.

Politically, yes, you can say that in Brazil today. But legally speaking that's not allowed...

Legally speaking you can say whatever the Supreme Court’s ad-hoc “interpretations” of the constitution will allow you to say, meaning whatever’s aligned with their political interests.

An advisor to the ministry of social equality has referred pejoratively to fans of a soccer team as “white fanbase” and something like “f’ing europeans”. That was after her boss used public money to travel to watch a soccer game.

A district attorney has ruled [2] that there was no racism in that case because reverse racism doesn’t exist.

Well, they're at least correct that reverse racism doesn't exist. Unfortunately they missed the bit where racism is racism, regardless of who the target is.

Worth to remind that the advisor was fired after posting that.
