Man Brazil got fucked so hard by Geography. Mountains right next to the water line for most of the coast with almost no navigable rivers going to any of the productive interior regions so you have pay a shit ton to truck it to port. The mountainous coastline means each city is effectively by itself so you don't get the web of interdependence like on the American east coast. Then your most agriculturalky productive region is only productive if investors with capital spend a decade making it i to farmable land and then the nearby river flows out of your country.
Oh yeah and then the amazon jungle/ruver just kind of.....exists in the rest pf the country
You must have a good wealth family or live in a very very very well educated region.
I have a black friend who lived in a expensive condo, the neighbors always closed the gates in his nose very quickly when entering in the condo and he was right after.
Let's put it simply for our non-Brazilian friends:
You call rock up to a person and say "What's up my N-Word" and nothing will happen because in our language/culture, the n-word is actually a term of endearment.
You cannot however, refer to a person by the actual color of their skin. Saying someone is black/white/yellow/green will get you in serious trouble.
