Peoples views of Brazilians

How old are you?

Nope, that's incorrect. Uruguay, Chile, Bolivia, Peru, for instance, manage to maintain a good level of governance. And with all do respect to other South American countries, none of them comes close to Brazil in terms of corruption.

Brazil is richer than the UK, and almost 35% of that income is stolen from the public funds.

My point is, Brazil and the mainstream media are really competent in transmiting an image of a happy and fantastic country with minor problems, which is a lie. Brazil's corruption is a problem that affects others countries as well. So it is important to break this stereotype sometimes... people always think of Brazil as football-beaches-women-sex. Brazil is not a sex-tourism-tropical-football land, and their people don't want to be seen as such.

What's my age got to do with anything? I'm 19...

With the world cup and the Olympics the whole world has it's eyes on Brazil. I'm wondering what people think about Brazilian people and even the country itself.

I am half Brazilian by the way, but please be honest! I'd like to know what the Brazilian stereotypes are :P

Also open to any questions about Brazil

Surprised you don't know, ever heard of a Brazilian wax?

The women -

The country is a wreck though: corruption, kleptocracy, crime, and so on. Though that has little to do with Brazilian people themselves, it's the corrupt top that is orchestrating this and then as a result you get all the other problems. That's what I've heard about the political and economical situation of the country at least, so perhaps you could add to or challenge my views

The nature there is absolutely gorgeous though! I absolutely love it

It is beautiful! Have you ever been?

No, but I used to have a Brazilian girlfriend and she showed me tonnes of picture and told me stories about the place

the ones in my college were in general very attractive

theyre friendly and fun too so fit in well with the irish

hmm bad aspects...well I guess we only get to see the well off ones
would prefer to meet more of a variety

its very diverse racially which is great..little complaints about this crew

Really? Haha That's awesome. My boyfriend is coming with me to Brazil in 2 weeks

Were there many in your college? :P

Must be super-expensive though

Just under 900 for flights and we don't have to pay for accommodation or food. Just need spending money for goodies :P

You sound almost as if 900 isn't that expensive

I don't have any negative views of Brazilians.

But like the rest of Latin America, Brazil needs to continue to sort out their drug and crime problems out.
They could also do with reducing their rate of deforestation (which is pretty bad, compared to the rest of Latin America).
