How Brazilian do you look?? 1 -10!

[Trouble]

@Maguzanci, you pass here, Brazil has a sizable minority of East Asian types, and you look more Korean or Northern Chinese than Japanese, in my opinion.

C'mon bro, that's not called passing. They are recent migrants. It's like saying I pass in the UK.

What are you talking about? Japanese, for example, are here for a long time.

I guess akira is wondering if he could pass as local amerindian/mixed amerindian for people to see him as a 'local' brazilian.

According to Wikipedia the first Japanese immigrants arrived in Brazil in 1908. Not even a century meanwhile Indians have been in Britain for longer than that. Yet no one here would entertain the idea that I "pass" in Britain coz its understood we are talking about native Brits.

That doesn't change the fact that they have become Brazilians and are also seen as such.
And Brazil is not Britain.

Yes pass, but here we have no ethnic division/separation. Pass and not pass makes no difference.

Brazil has a different way of dealing with these issues. It has a self-identity as a multi-racial country, if you're born in Brazil and speak Portuguese you're Brazilian. Regardless of your race, no one will question you.

It's really different to how Anglos and people from TA in general look at race.

[Adamastor]

And you can pass here Maguzanci.

Except if your look is very exotic and specific like a black skin melanesian, a black as night and very tall sudanese nilote or andamanese islander i think.

And you can pass here Maguzanci.

What about some groups like a black as night and tall nilotic, a black skin melanesian/abo, andaman islander or an extremely tungid looking siberian? Would they pass or stand out?
