]]> Comment on How immigration will change Brazil by Nicholas http://www.postwesternworld.com/2011/04/10/how-immigration-will-change-brazil/#comment-9916 Nicholas Tue, 24 Jan 2012 01:49:19 +0000 http://www.postwesternworld.com/?p=1534#comment-9916 Hello Mr Stuenkel, You have a great website and I hope you continue with your great work. First, I do not believe Brazil is more diverse than the US. I know that Brazil is more diverse than the US. Knowing and believing are two different words and have different meanings. I'm amazed that people still confuse themself with those words. I'm Brazilian, living in Miami Florida with great regrets but have to make the best of it. Yes I can leave, but not yet (this is for blowhards who will complain "ohh why don't you leave if you don't like it there"). My father is a Brazilian from German-Norwegian mother and a second generation brazilian father who's roots are from a cabloco mother (native american mother and white portuguese) and a mulatto father, both from the State of Espirito Santo. My Brazilian mother is from black-dutch mother from the north east and Scottish-India father also from the north-east state of Para. Yes, you read that well..also from India. They also entered Brazil direct and indirect to work. You can find them in the north and north east. Anyway This kind of mix you won't find in the US nor in Canada that wants to include itself in the so called multi cultural subject. Back to the topic: Brazil should change it's immigration policy because it will benifit them but I do say also it should not copy the liberal immigration policy of the US what is a disaster. living here and seeing how it's destroying itself is amazing but at the otherside understandable since the people continue to believe everything is just fine. Brazil should indeed look at the programs like the use in Canada and Australia. Those nations understand how it should be done. To bad those countries have adopted the US style neoliberal style economy that is another disaster. In reality after doing my own homework, they are loosing people and their economies are weak. Immigration will not only make Brazil stronger it will make the Brazilian people more rich when they share new ideas and also bring back thoughts about how Brazil was when it received immigrants in the 18 century. Brazilians of today should not fear the integration process, because when those thoughts of immigration of the past comes back, what they read in history, they will see again that integration works better when you allow them to keep their own traditions and languages and by time they speak better brazilian portuguese. Conclusion, if they want to be succesful in Brazil, the shall learn the language alone or with help, so not they shall fail and from that they will learn. Only the weak will surrender and leave.

Moscow and Saint Petersburg and even nations like the US that claims to be the top of the world of everthing has it's slums and high crime, no matter how people manipulate the numbers (statistic freaks) Fact is Russia is a slavic nation and Brazil is a nation of immigrants from all over the world and is a Westernized nation compare to the nations that are in the BRIC. Dear Carlos,

Crime and that cities Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo has it’s problems with slums has nothing to do with the words “Western World”.
Moscow and Saint Petersburg and even nations like the US that claims to be the top of the world of everthing has it’s slums and high crime, no matter how people manipulate the numbers (statistic freaks)

Fact is Russia is a slavic nation and Brazil is a nation of immigrants from all over the world and is a Westernized nation compare to the nations that are in the BRIC.

My family and life is so different from others, I can write a book about it. My father was Russian, my mother was Ukrainian, my sister was born in Salzburg, I was born in Sao Paulo, now living in Chicago. So I speak Portuguese, Spanish, English, Russian, and German. From all my travels and meeting people from all over the world I learned most people believe Brazilians are somehow "Hispanic", not so. Not that I dislike "Hispanics" some of my best friends are "Hispanics", but Brazilians are really a distinct peoples that is hard to explain. They are simply a collection or mix of a multitude of nationalities and races that evolved into something called "Brazilians" that are very unique among all peoples of the world. I am speciall y proud that I am Brazilian, and also love all the peoples of the world, regards. I believe Brazil and USA are the top melting pot of peoples from all over the world.
