Ask a Brazilian skeptic

[Rev. Rye]

My parents and entire family are from South America, though some of us moved up to the US in the 90's.

As for the white comment, most Brazilians ARE Caucasian, descended mostly from the Portuguese. Brazilian is a nationality, not a race lol. But yes, we count as Latin since Brazil is part of Latin America.

Just wanted to make sure; given that Brazil was colonized by Portugal and not Spain like the rest of Latin America, I guessed there would be some divide (especially since when I took a Latin American history course, the teacher just stopped talking about Brazil once he mentioned that, once Spain and Portugal took over the Americas, they split off everything past a certain longitude and what was east of it became Brazil). Then again, maybe that could have been because it's full of so much intrigue that he couldn't fit all the countries in.

And on that note, I should figure out that I just remembered that Ferdinand Pessoa, author of the Book of Disquiet is not actually from Brazil, but Portugal, so I fucked that up too.
