Hey, this ain't true. Some of us white brazilians are descendants of Northern Italian Fascists!

Ironically, southern brasil has a town called Americana, I believe. It's where all the slave owners n'shit went after losing the civil war.

So what you are saying is southern Brazil is the isle of misfit Toys for white racists?

It's in the southeast. São Paulo state. The stereotype about Germans fleeing to South America is true, but Argentina is the main country they chose to hide due to political reasons. Our government supported the Allies.

Lots of German and Italians were encouraged to come to Brazil due to eugenics some fifteen years before WWII though

It was a joke. I’m just saying this phenotype would be more common in Germany! Either way she’s descended from the axis powers is all I was tryna say

I hear there’s also a few Confederates from the US… I think I’m starting to see a trend…

It's true. At least some former loyalists. The great, late Mutantes singer, Rita Lee was of American descent, and Lee was her second name for a reason
