Of course there are differences, but they are not as pronounced as our distant friend from Brazil is making them to be. Are you honestly want to tell me that just by looking at these pics (without knowing who they are) you can tell who's from were? Cause if you do...well, either you are hawk-eyed or for whatever reason you're deep into differences between European Caucasians. |
Just to give you some insight: Race is a pretty big deal in Brazil (and in most, if not all, of Latin America), but the issue is a bit different from what happens in the USA and in Europe. Prejudice is more based on appearance than in racial purity.
Brazil is a pretty mixed up nation, but there are places like southern Brazil that have a higher amount of "whites", let's say brazilians from german heritage. Most Latin American fellows will tell you that race is not important, and that racism doesn't happen, but it's actually the opposite.
Here in Mexico it's not uncommon to hear that you are "improving the race" when you, as someone with dark skin, manage to marry someone with whiter skin, no matter their racial background.
