Not just Africans. So do the Brazilians. Infact, the Virgin we prayed to 
at home as children as was short, plump and Black. (The other was a 
made-in-Europe statue, green and luminous!) It reminds you of the 
sceptic's viewpoint: "Man created god in his own image and likeness."

Isn't this quite a stereotype? And then we complain about all those Hindi 
films portraying the Catholic Goan as vamp and drunk. FN
