Shame on the O Correio da Bahia, and the PFL for playing the racist card

Brazil is a land of many races and someone that embraces our culture so enthusiastically should be held up as an example of modern Brazil.

Yukachan's story is a beautiful story of a young woman who got caught up in samba and went to Bahia to realize her dream. As an "outsider" who plans to make my home in Bahia but not as a sambista I think it's great that there is so much love,respect and appreciation for Bahian culture. Yuka has given Bahia,it's people and culture nothing but love and respect and she has taken the time to master both Samba and Portuguese and to fit in in Bahia. I hope that O Correio da Bahia and PLF and not indicative of the way Bahia actually feels towards outsiders.

It is only indicative how some people in bahia or brazil in general feel about outsiders. Others will be completely excepting of you. I would agree it was pretty petty and childish of O Correio.

...that she's taken

You leave the First World to go to a Crime ridden,Poor place in the Thirld World ?
Where some of these IDIOTS have the courage to have a superiority attitude toward foreigners?!!
No thanks, I just go to Brazil to screw 18 years old girls all night long for R$ 50 and then come back to a more civilized country.

R$50? I've seen the $50 street hooks buddy you are not only a sick bastard but you are cheap. Yes some idiots do have the courage to have a superiour attitude, if an attitude of superiority had to do with money then the french would all be billionaires or the swiss would have the worst attitudes. But there are many reasons for wanting to live in a 3rd world country. Not everybody wants to live in a strip malled Mcdonalds land where the fat bitches drive giant SUV's while talking on thier cell phone and drinking thier venti frappaccinos. I am from one of those places and I can honestly say give me the $R2,000 reais a month I made as an english teacher in brazil and legal residency and I would be back there in a minute.

First world country indeed! I am furiously planning my permanent departure from the sick, depraved, morally decadent, supremist Empire called America. Give me crime ridden but love rich Brazil anyday over crime ridden hate filled America!

Playing Russian Roulette with your pecker? I hear AIDS is a very nasty desease! Better leave that "Young AIDS" alone.

Only the English speaking societies think that sex is a crime equatable with murder and possibly worse. However, the idea of forcing that theory down the throat`s of other countries is out of line!! On the other hand, one does not have to air their dirty linen in public.

People should also be aware that Toninho Malvadeza's PFL is about as committed to democracy and anti-racism in Bahia and Geroge Wallace was in Georgia in 1961. It's a hoot to see those mutherfuquers try to play the race card!

actually the english are much more practical about sex than americans....but really condoms have been proven to work...that is why the AIDS rate in brazil is hardly higher than in the US despite the fact there is about 10 times more sex....

Who wants to live in a first world country where everyone is an unhappy stressed out, no sex having moron? The reason so many residents of the first world seek sex in brazil is because they can't get none in their own countries. Americans are a bunch of big fat ugly pigs who don't want to f-ck another big fat ugly so they go to Brazil where they can f-ck some beautiful people.

Do the damn thing Yuka. Enjoy Brazil and your beautiful husband. I bet you are glad to have escaped Japan with its uptight, anal people. Live your life! Not like First worlders who are pulling out what is left of their stringy greasy hair trying to "make it" in their f-cked up money grubbing lands.

Brazil has "beautiful people"?

I guess if you can call flat headed monkeys who call themselves "nordestinos" "beautiful", that yeah, Brazil is a real beauty farm.

Hell, even the swarthy little Paulistas and Mineiros as well as the wanna-be European gauchos are ugly little bastards.

This topic has turned from expressing your opionion regarding a Japaneese lady being featured in the Bahia Carnival to nasty words expressed due to one ignorant person. Ignorant comments does not deserve a response. I am an American and I absolutely love Brazil. For me, I dream to retire in such a beautiful place where many people with hardly nothing seems to still have a sense of humanity and co-exist. Maybe we Americans can take note of this. The weather seems to always be beautiful, people are beautiful inwardly and outwardly, the cost of living is reasonable, great beaches, restaraunts, and Brazilians live their life to the fullest. When I arrive back to the USA, I am always depressed. We got it wrong. We work our ass off for materialistic things, have high stress, not socialiable, do not talk to our extended familiy members that often because we are wrapped up in our time warped world, we forget out what should be our purpose in life. For one, it should be family, Brazilians got that message. Another ourpose is to live life to the fulliest,brazilians got that message, and be greatful for what you have, brazilians got that message also. Still, I love my country USA for the good and the bad. Still, I also appreciate other peoples cultures and customs. Everyone in this world, should not be mandated to think and feel like an American. If so, everyone country will be at war. Also, we have our share of poverty in the US also. We do not want to address our race problems in the US. White folks continue to say that everyone is on an even playing field, which is totally untrue. The Mexicans, blacks, even the poor whites are treated diffrently and have less opportunities to become successful. The point I am trying to make is all countries have dirty laundry, lets appreciate what is good.

Good post Ray. After visiting Salvador Bahia,Brazil and also Cachoeira in 2003 I fell in love with Bahia and would like to make Bahia my home when I retire in 9 years. I've always had a "mild obsession" with Bahia and it's religious tradition,Candomble since 1977 after reading an article in Essence magazine on Bahia and Candomble. Bahians truly work to live while Americans live to work. In Bahia everyone had this sense of family and community that is sorely lacking in Bahia. My friend who took us to Bahia lived in Argentina and taught English there but she would get so lonely for Black faces that she started going to Bahia. Her Dad who has been travelling with her to Bahia fell in love with the place also and after retiring last year,he applied for his retirement Visa from the Brazilian Consulate and this past November moved to Bahia for good. He said that he never has to take his high blood pressure medication while in Bahia because of the sense of timelessness,love and community there. He said that minute he stepped off the plane in the States he would have to reach for his medication because the stress level and the hustle and bustle would get to him. While in Bahia I always felt this love surrounding me even while I was doing mundane things like shopping or walking along the beach. Bahia is truly heaven on earth to me and after visiting Bahia there is no other place on earth I want to be.

I meant to say in my previous post that "In Bahia everyone had this sense of family and community that is sorely lacking in America. Also, I felt that Bahia had some of the most beautiful people in the world. The poster who stated Brazilians are ugly is a lie and a fly as there are more beautiful people in Brazil than America that are fat,ugly and plain looking. Also,Americans have very low body images and tend to starve themselves to look like a blonde,Barbie doll because this is the image that successul,white men in America want. Women who don't fit this Barbie doll mold work like hell to achieve it because they know that they won't have a change to get a successful white American man if they don't.

Hoo-ray Ray! My sentiments exactly! To the poster who stated that the Brazilian people are ugly. That may be YOUR opinion but judging by the droves of tourists from the First World who stampede the beaches of Brazil to ogle the beautiful woman, you are alone in your "judgment". You simply do not see people, white black or mulatto in the States who rival the beauty of the AVERAGE brazilian. How many people do you find in America who are happy, positive, lovely and shapely? None that is not grinning down on you from a billboard and most of the models are multi million dollar media creations, fantasy people who don't exist in the real world.

I too would love to retire to America. Like Ray, I am suffering from severe depression which magically lifted during a three week stay in Brazil a few years back. I was able to stop taking my anti-depresseant and anti-anxiety medication on the fourth day of my vacation. I think it was because I was surrounded by so much warmth and the blue blue sea. Also I actually had time in Bahia to just sit back and sip a cup of coffee. Something an American seldom gets to do back home. Even visiting a beautiful old church for an afternoon mass was a very healing experience.

Brazilians, at least Bahians and Cariocas seem to put more effort into the things that really count. So many times I watched lovers sitting on a park bench caught up in each other while the rest of the world goes by. All we Americans do is work, work, work on a high stress f-cked up job and I work for the IRS which makes my job about a million times more stressful than your average job. And for what? Nothing! We spend our lives running to and fro, never having time for family and friends. And even if an American does make it to the top he usually finds he has sacrificed everything and everyone to get there and thus must enjoy his success alone.

America is not that land of opportunity either. Much poverty, inequality and racial injustice here exists despite America's talk of democracy and opportunity for all. That is total bullsh-t that is why the Iraqi people are fighting the US govt's attempt to put "democracy" on them. Why should they want it? So they can end up fat, unhappy and miserable like the average American.

When it gets really rough here I think of my stay in Brazil. When I am caught up in that traffic jam, buried under a pile of work and stress and surrounded by other fat, unhappy stressed out people I think of my stay in Brazil. Everyone may not think that Brazil and the Brazilians are beautiful but that person is in the vast minority. The majority of people trapped in the stress and pain of the First World see otherwise.

I must be overdosing on the psycho meds when I read my error "I too would love to retire to America". Hell NO! You know I meant to say BRAZIL! I would like to retire FROM America not to this hellhole. Give me the paradise of Brazil's beautiful beaches and its smiling people over any place in the First World any day. Give me the bon vie the good life!

Although I really like brazil and will be moving back there. I must say that many brazilians, my girlfriends mom for example, work 6 days a week , wake up at 5 am to go to work and return around 8 at night. I wouldnt exaclty call that paradise. The brazilian work week is 48 hours before you start to get overtime. The difference between there and america is is on sunday or whatever day they have off they get together and prepare a big meal and hang out and talk and drink beer with thier family. Most americans outside of possibly when they go to church, don't hang out with thier family, not in any meaningful, joyous way.

another great thing about brazi, that some people like but many americans don't is the feeling of intimacy. When you walk down the street in Brazil, you see people on the street, and they may even say hi to you if it is your street. In the majority of the US people just zing around in cars....

Poor thing. Why do some people have to be such narrow minded cretins?

I too would love to move to Brazil. I want to get a career where I can incorporate my love of Brazil and travel there frequently, then save up to get a second house there

I totally agree and I haven't been there yet. Americans are patently jaded. I don't want to be one of those typical "Career-Driven Women" who only always fights her way up only to turn around and see that she's too old to have kids, is high-strung, looks older than she is, and is now sitting on a pile of money with nothing to show for it except property. Plus black Americans are more obsessed with race because there aren't as many blacks here. And in media and sometimes like they make the experience seem completely negative, everything from political books to rap music, sells jadedness, victimhood, and angst. Whites and blacks STILL don't mix because of the huge gap of complexion and they seem to have no common cultures even though they're all American. But in all fairness it seems like black and white America have come further as far as practical economic gains like media presence, political representation, and mobilization.

Why do Americans who hate Brazil so much continue living there? Aren't there planes that fly out of Brazil everyday? I wouldn't stay in a country that I hated with such a passion even if it were for a career opportunity. I would rather come back to America and find a job then sit in Brazil and miserably drink myself to death since some posters feel that Brazil is such a hostile,primitive,racist country.

I am a dreamer? I lived in Rio for 4 years. Perhaps in Sao Paulo you have no contact with the people on your street but in Rio you do. Maybe that is why Paulistas always look so stiff when walking on the streets of Rio. Brazil has it's problems "dumbass" but outside of SP peope actually talk to each other more than they do in the US this was one observation it wasn't dreaming brazil as some paradise. I have also lived in five different big cities in the US in differenct parts of the country and think this was a valid observation. As for your observation that it sounds like a gay neighborhood couldn't you come up with something better such as "sounds like a gayborhood!" you witless quailtard.

YOU ALL DREAMERS KEEPDREAMING,KEEP DREAMING .....
Any way nobody answer my original question on the reason for the ARROGANT attitude of many Brazilian from the uuper and middle class !!
Thanks

Isn't arrogance something that is found in upper and middle classes everywhere? Is this really specific to Brazilians?
