Angolan midfielder of Dynamo Makhachkala Egas Casintura in an interview with , he responded to the question of whether he had ever faced racism in Russia.
Kasintura moved to Makhachkala before the start of last season “Dynamo” from Ufa. The Angolan has lived in Russia since 2015.
— In America or Brazil, where half the population has dark skin, there is more racism than in Russia! It is clear that people are different. But, thank God, I never encountered any unpleasant moments. It’s just that it’s not racism, but a person’s taste: some people prefer Slavic appearance, others prefer Asian appearance. But there’s nothing wrong with that. In small towns, I may be surprised that a dark-skinned person walks down the street – for example, children look at them in a particular way. But in Krasnodar, Moscow or St. Petersburg, no one will look at you just because you’re not from the area. So, I think there is no racism here,” Casintura told .
Last season, the 26-year-old footballer played 33 matches in the MELBET First League, scoring five goals and providing nine assists. As a result of the championship, Dynamo Makhachkala entered the Russian Premier League for the first time in history.
