my school in Barcelona did that, we made an effigy to burn, being the only Jewish kid in school was awkward.
I have heard that racism was prevalent in Europe in the 80's. My mother observed that black US military members were directed to live on a different part of town from the white ones by real estate agents.
no idea about 80s, that was in the early 2000s.
Also had a teacher called Matamoros... The American equivalent would be "[n-word]lyncher". They then go like "I'm not racist, I just have a racist name and heritage I want to preserve"
