I get pissed when I hear people say that Brazil is a racist country and I ask how? how can this beautiful country be a racist country, a country that is a melting pot of all races? Brazilians are so friendly to foreigners, so how can brazil be a racist county? Don't get me wrong I am not saying we don't have racism in Brazil but Brazil is not a racist country.
1, Everybody is a Brazilian in Brazil and it does not matter if you are Asian or African, we are all Brazilians and this is why you would find a Chinese Brazilian and a Japanese Brazilian and a Nigerian Brazilian or a Pakistani Brazilian, Lebanese Brazilian, so in Brazil, you can never know who is a foreigner, unlike America where a white man would tell the Latino man go back to your country.
2, I don't need to know anyone to get things done in Brazil and remember I have a Nigerian name and nobody cares, and in fact, I get a lot of love immediately they know I am not from Brazil.
3, racism is a crime and it is very clear in the Brazilian constitution I know because I have a copy and a racist country would not have it so clear as day in their constitution, so whenever you suffer a racial attack in Brazil always remind that person of the constitution and you can open a case and an investigation would begin, for example in Portugal it is not in their constitution now you understand the difference.
So, to conclude and like I said we have racism everywhere in the world, and even where I come from we have tribalism, but in Brazil, I feel at home because I know I can get justice if someone uses a racial slur on me.
There is no discrimination or segregation in Brazil and we always hear about the south of Brazil being a racist region, well are you surprised, we have a lot of Europeans there and those guys carry their racism everywhere they go but if you experience such in the south of Brazil please report that racist and that a racista would be disgraced and dealt with.
