WHITE? SOUTHERN EUROPEAN WHITE? MIXED? THE STRUGGLES UPON RACE AND ETHNICITY WITHIN THE PORTUGUESE NON-PARTISAN FAR-RIGHT

Abstract

The aim of this article is to contribute to the debate on race and ethnicity amidst far-right internet organizations having Portugal as a case study. The main issue is to analyze how the far-right in Portugal, in spite of the small number of groupings, encompasses a huge overarching field of worldframes. There are, basically, two main ideological axis highly opposed to each other. One states that Portugal belongs to a white ethnoeuropean universe. It aims for Portugal amalgamated to a European continent where whites should be an indeniably majority, if not all its population. The other states that the Portuguese people are especially prone to miscigenate with non-white Europeans. It aims for a Portugal amalgamated with its former Empire in the tropics and supports its ideal on a Brazilian school of thought.
