Race and Racism in Latin America: Brazil - 25 Jul 08

What difference does it make if one country has more/less discrimination than another. The point of journalism is to create awareness about the issues that exist in our world (good and bad). The fact that discrimination and racism still exists is outrageous, especially considering what we know about human genetics (that we all are one species and there is no such thing as race or racial superiority).

The real problem, that all countries face, is ignorance of the issues that caused people to be marginalized in the past and the present. Ethnic, religious, and class discrimination exists everywhere, whether its people of African descent in Brazil, poor European descendents in the U.S. Appalachian region, ex-patriots in U.A.E, or Aborigines in Australia. Wed be hard pressed to find a stretch of land on this planet where discrimination and oppression dont exist.

Instead of perpetuating negative ideologies, we should protest against discrimination regardless of which group is being oppressed and which we belong to.

White Brazilians are beautiful, ever seen Giselle Bundchen?

LOL what's worst than Eurocentrism is Afrocentrism.

You're joking right?

Portuguese ARE Latin.

LOL the US education system is messed up!

I see a bad moon rising. 3:35

O Brasil e racista sim. Nao sou negro, mas tenho varios amigos negros e nunca me esquecerei quando fomos a uma festa em um bairro nobre de Sao Paulo, a dona da casa pediu que dois dos nossos amigos(negros) saissem. E claro que todos ficamos revoltados, foi a minha primeira experiencia com racismo nesse pais que se considera "sem preconceitos". ACORDA BRASIL!!!!!

lmfao
