Brazil is very diverse indeed, we have people of all colours. And the best thing is that we don't separate ourselves into groups like the USA does. We don't say "I'm German Brazilian", "I'm African Brazilian", or "I'm Japanese Brazilian", etc... we are all just Brazilians.
Caraca que mentiroso, mentindo na cara dura, quem não fica se rebaixando a esse nível são os brasileiros de primeira geração que é formado por Mulatos, Cafusos, Caboclos, Mamelucos e Pardos. O Caucasiano faz questão de dizer que é descendente de europeu e de certo modo essas pessoas odeiam o Brasil, principalmente descendente de alemão, os asiáticos também se denominam de nipo brasileiro, é só perguntar deles, e o outro é o seguinte, tem um monte de a Negro que se denominam descendente de africano sabendo que essa pessoas são só americanos igual a todos nós, agora obviamente separo a ideia de resgatar a cultura africana no Brasil do que ficar de denominando de um lugar a qual você não faz parte.
As a Brazilian who also lived abroad for 25yrs and came back to Brazil, I say please stay there. Visit your family and friends, but please do not move back. I understand nostalgia, but the country is not fixable. The same problems are just getting worse on a daily basis! Brazil never misses a chance to miss a chance to grow and move forwards!
I'm from Belo Horizonte (a must visit city here in Brazil) and every time I was in Rio and in Books Hostel I made a friend! Enjoy your travel in Brazil and, if it's possible, try to visit all the five main regions that we have.
@@ashleykourtney4098 North, Northeast, Central-West, Southeast and South. People doing vlogs only stays in the Southeast region (where Rio and São Paulo are located), but every region has something to offer. I know Brazil it's huge and it's hard to visit all these places, but perhaps on future trips you might consider going to these other regions as well. Love your video, btw.
I'm brazilian and I almost cried watching this!! So beautiful the way you talk about our culture and were excited to meet us! Hope you have a GREAT experience ❤❤
4:25 diversity is part of the everyday is such a bar!!! Thank you for choosing Brazil as your destination, as a tour guide I can say that your visit is really appreciated and you are more than welcome, if you have plans to know Foz do Iguaçu let me know!
@ashleykourtney4098 You got a headstart on me then. I was 28 and that was 28 years too late to get to Rio. Enjoy your time in Brazil. It is a great place to be.
@@ashleykourtney4098 It was every bit as great as it is now, but a bit rough around the edges. Even though we had the internet, it wasn't quite what it is now. Thus, we arrived knowing very little about the place, which kept it interesting. There were no message boards or Facebook to ask questions or Google Streetview to check out places beforehand. Everything we saw, we saw for the first time. The good thing about Brazil is, there's so much more to see and experience than you think. You'll never be prepared for it all. How long are you staying?
@ that’s so cool omg! Did you speak Portuguese? Because a lot of people in Brazil do not speak English, I am lucky enough to have google translate and duo lingo haha. I am staying for 4 months, so I’ll be here for new years and carnival! 🇧🇷
The match that was taking place at the time was between Flamengo and Atlético-MG and it was the final of the Copa do Brasil ("Brazil Cup"), so it has a lot of local importance.
1:35 Um parente meu mora em frente a este albergue, todos ali na vizinhança sentem um profundo ódio deste lugar. Eu morei por um ano ali e pude presenciar o quão desagradável é para a vizinhança. Os estrangeiros, principalmente argentinos, ficam conversando/gritando na calçada em frente ao portão até altas horas da madrugada, você tenta ter uma noite tranquila de sono e às 3 da madrugada parece que o grupo de gringos estão conversando dentro do teu quarto.
@@Di_yay I totally understand where you are coming from! My boyfriend is a native Brazilian and after he tells people where he is from, he always hears “but you don’t look Brazilian”..
Nice vlog! Don't miss Salvador da Bahia - the "New Africa". A sacred city for AfroBrazilian religions such as "Candomble" and "Umbanda" - u gonna love it specially for bein black! Also don't miss my hometown São Paulo City!
It’s in my plans , cannot wait for Salvador!! It’s going to be the highlight of my trip, also I am going to be in São Paulo in 2 weeks, any recommendations? 🌸
This place is not just beautiful people and beaches and favela it’s hell one street behind Copacabana is the real Brazil black and brown homeless people digging out the trash while there babies in a stroller
@@Yoits1992 Hey, I really appreciate this perspective. As a first-time visitor-and as someone from Kenya, where I’ve seen my share of hardships-I understand that life here in Rio is complex, with real struggles alongside the beauty. I’m sharing my initial experiences from a fresh perspective, and while I know there’s so much more beneath the surface, I’m genuinely drawn to the energy and beauty of this place. Thanks for helping to keep the conversation real
That´s not the real Brazil. That´s the reality of the World we live in. 89% of all Brazilian Cities and counties don´t have one single Favela. Just because you´ve been to Rio doesn´t mean you know anything about Brazil.
@ only place that looks remotely safe is Santa Teresa /leblon /Ipanema and Airbnb is super expensive there haircut there is 30 dollars in Ipanema in copacabana haircut is 12 dollars where it’s more dangerous that’s facts
@Yoits1992 Looks can be deceptive. The risk of crime is where the money is, not in the residential neighbourhoods. I was getting my hair cut for 20 reais, so you definitely went to the wrong places.
You should avoid saying Brazil is like this or that. You're experiencing Rio. São Paulo is completely different. So is Belo Horizonte. And each of the southern states, where you might not feel so at home, btw.
@@ashleykourtney4098 lapa is dangerous full with Prostitute Drug attics and drugs and extremely dirty not sure why anyone would like it though that’s where most of nightlife is though I’m look at the person that’s causing harm cause I’m tall and black and big women hide there purse and phones when I walk near them lapa even for me I still don’t feel comfortable only time I feel safe is in Ipanema or lapa though people there think I’m the bad guy Brazil is a horrible place when I went to nice restaurants I was the only black Person there
