Someone who is Venezuelan but happens to be white, will be just treated as any other white person in Brazil. Someone who is Venezuelan and looks like a black will be treated like a black. People here don't think in these communitary terms like ''Venezuelan community'', ''Cuban community'' etc.
Many of my ancestors came from a city in which most people descend exclusively from Italians and I don't recall many people self-defining as ''Italian-Brazilians'', everyone are just Brazilians who happen to have Italian ancestors . I don't know about other Latin American countries, but here this Anglo-Saxon type of communitarism doesn't exist.
