Ask brazilians members anything about Brazil

[PrincesaMeridaYucata]

What you think about avril lavigne, when she took selfies with brazilian fans, and didn't even accepted to get close to many of them? Was that really offensive in brazil?

Is this accurate?

No. It is a stereotype. A lot of people hate carnaval because it is financiated and made with public money (from taxes). I hate it too. But, I love football and it is in fact the most popular sport here. Pele is a god here.

How common would you say that knowledge of English, Spanish or indeed any other foreign language is in Brazil? Because all the travel guides in this country say that only in expensive hotels and restaurants in Brazil can you be guaranteed that people will know English. (Not that it affected me when I went there, as I speak Portuguese anyway of course).

As portuguese speakers, we will always understand spanish. On my school, I did have english and spanish classes. The recent generations - a good part - know how to speak english. The eldest ones only speak portuguese.

What Brazilian think about indians?

Our opinion about indians is very influenced by a national novel about India. People that marry by arranged marriages, people that belong tô some caste. Recently, some brazilians have read some stuff about India thanks tô the conflit between India and Pakistan. According to the comments that I saw in the youtube, a lot of brazilians are supporting India because brazilians do not like islam.

[Catarinense1998]

Damn, I have a looooooooot of questions... Could I start just now with a few and I do many others after?
Keep in mind that the last time I went there was in 1997 (in 2014 with my family went there too, but it was just less than one day in the brazilian side of the falls) so many quetions could be silly, but I am really interesting to know about these subjects.

Well... I'll start:

1- Would I be considered "caipira" or "camponês" or something like a "redneck" considering I am originally from a town with less than 30,000 inhabitants? (I feel proud to be it if I would be considered, so don t worry if you answer "yes" hehe )

2- Is it common to find third positionists (conservatives nor liberals and nor socialists) among brazilian people at these times?

3- Are there many people who still like brazilian classic musicians like Roberto Carlos, Caetano Veloso, María Bethânia, Gal Costa, Milton Nascimento, Jorge Benjor, Neguinho da Beija Flor, Beth Carvalho and also romantic singers musicians of the 80s like Simone Bittencourt or Joanna? (I love all of them)

4- Sertanejo universitário still be trend, or real sertanejo is comming back?

5- Romário or Ronaldo?

6- Are japanese - brazilians totally integrated culturally talking?

7- Is it Espírito Santo a quiet State?

8- Is the term "gringo" affectionate / kindly? (I recived that nick from some friends or my cariocas relatives, but I was an adolescent at that time. )

9- Are the best beaches located in the northeast? (Even I clarify that I went to a beautiful beach, Jericocoara, in Ceará, but also in SC, SP and RJ states are very nice as I've seen, and there are many States which I've never been)


Thank you in advance!

Wait, I will take some water to drink while I answer your questions ... here I go:

1 - We associate the word "caipira" to people which live in the countryside and have a very weird accent. People from Minas Gerais, Sao Paulo's countryside are considered caipira. I think the number of habitants do not matter, since you speak with the countryside's accent.

2- To be honest with you, almost none know what really they trust and defend. None of these comunists use to read Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Engels, Mao Tse Tung; the conservative ones even do not who is Edmund Burke. If someone is against abortion, it will vote for the right; if someone agree with it, then vote for the left. Almost none gives a fuck to economy. Brazilians vote for people (personality) instead of vote for ideias.

3 - Yes, a lot of people listen their songs

4 - I'm not a expert about this topic, so I will pass on here.

5 - Ronaldo.

6 - Yes. But, the elder ones still speak japanese. A lot of japanese-brazilians go to work in Japan, so they also know how to speak it.

7 - Yes, very interesting ask. Our national midia ignore totally it. I wonder why.

8 - Yes.

9 - Yes.

We have our own society. Social class > race. Our culture worships mulattas (women mixed half euro half african). Some people use to follow a motto here - "white women to marry, and mulatta to betray and make sex". Whites in low class do not give a fuck to race thing. Recently, some pardos and blacks are improving their quality of life, and entering in the middle class. I have seen a lot of couples here made by german descendants and pardxs. Basically, the biggest part of brazilians tend to not give so much importance to it.
