They are not careless , they are kept ignorant about it, wand why do you think Carmen Miranda Banana head basket was created before, man wake up ... smell the flowers........... Who knows maybe some day we get free...........? Hope so....

Brazil isn´t poor. Our HDI is high, our GDP is one of the largest of the planet.

The problem is that people in the North are so careless about the rest of the world that they can´t distinguish between Brazil and Belize...

[rogerpenna]

Yes, and India also has one of the largest GDP´s on the planet, so its rich... yeah right.

Forget pure GDP, concentrate on PER CAPITA and HDI... you say our HDI is high... but its NOT that high... its barely above 0.8... rich countries are all above 9.3

@rogerpenna

HDI in India is 0.6. And your "rich countries" are nothing but little islands with 1% of the brazilian population (except USA and Canada).
