Stereotypes and Misconceptions Against Brazilians

Stereotypes and Misconceptions Against Brazilians

Over time, many people have perceived many stereotypes about Brazilians, as well as being able to create several differing misconceptions about the Brazilian community. To begin, many people think of Brazilians to be the type of people who love attending carnivals, and listening to a lot of samba music, and lets not forget that "all" they do is play football. However, no one seems to realize that carnivals take place all over the world, and football(soccer) may just be the most commonly played sport in the area, as each country has its most popular scene, especially a most popular form of music. In addition, many think of Brazilian women as being the type to have dark skin, being extremely beautiful with huge curves, walking around pretty nude, and being an easy target to sleep with. Why would someone even come up with the conclusion that all Brazilian women are promiscuous, because this idea is obviously not a fact. Also, many think of Brazil to be a very poor community, where the authority is corrupt, and containing a lot of crime. Many seem to actually focus in on the positive aspects of the country, and focus on only negative statements. Brazil even has some of the most beautiful places in the world, starting with the Amazon Rain Forest, and to Rio de Janeiro. In addition, the most common stereotype of all would be that Brazilians are Latino, but Brazilians are actually no where near being Hispanic.
