@Erick-uf9ek "The problem is that the black population is mostly bad educated, living in the poorest parts of the country, because after slavery, no one have taken a step to help black people get on society again, they're always behind, for example, in my classroom, only 4 of 30 people are black, but black people make more than 50percent of the population, also south of Brazil is where the most white people, but still, its not white supremacy it is a vicious cycle."
This is the very definition of a white supremacist country where racism is constitutionally unpunished and not criminalized . If racism was illegal in Brazil and if it wasn't a white supremacist country, then black kids would have the same education as white kids and the same chances in life . My country is 99,99% white with some and there are areas in it where nobody has ever seen a non white person, except on TV or on the internet . And yet non white people have EXACTKY the same rights as white people , like everywhere else in Scandinavia and we do not need to have black people representing 50% of the country .
Srry but you explained yourself exactly why and how Brazil is a white supremacist, racist country .

@derricklanders7260 Have you even tried to live anywhere else before stating that you wouldn't want ? No , Iceland doesn't have white supremacists, we are also very tolerant of immigrants and we have no prejudice toward any form of minority, whether it is religious, physical , ethnic, or sexual . We embrace it all, something we can really not say about the US .
No Derrick the US doesn't have some black spot in its history , its history itself is a black spot and based on the biggest genocide in record modern history . It is estimated that over 250 million indigenous inhabitant of what now constitutes , southern, northern and central America were massacred since Europeans set foot on the continent . 70 million people in what is now the USA . So don't you dare call it a black spot , unless you want to call world war two and one a black spot as well, since even put together , it hasn't cost as many lives as the History of your country .
And why would you say that i have the chance to live in a country with an homogeneous (not homogenous, learn how to write your own language) as opposed to u\you in the US after saying that you wouldn't want to live anywhere else . Try to make more sense and be more coherent in your comment . if you don't like living in the US because of its heterogeneous population, nobody is forcing you to stay there, get on a plane and move back to where the hell your ancestors came from . I did it . I was born in the US , Arizona, my parents both worked there at the time as an archaeologist (father) and ethno-anthropologist for the UNESCO , documenting the Natives culture and traditions as tangible and intangible world heritage), and i was raised on reservations . So you see Derrick, until the age of 14 i was living in the US and had american citizenship . I renounced it officially and legally when i turned 18 and took my father (Icelandic) and mother's (British) citizenship as both of them were born and raised European . So you see Derrick, there is nothing about the US you can teach me, which i do not already know , I , unlike you, made the conscious decision to choose my country after living in several places . I also lived in Japan for a very long time, married to a Japanese, and now living and working in Switzerland . I could have retained my American citizenship , but i made the conscious decision not to be part of a country that i consider to be a disaster and a mistake and human history , I grew up with Natives and they are the only ones who owns the right to claim that land , everybody else is an immigrant . So the fact that you consider it a chance for me to live in a country with little heterogeneity , apparently regretting the lack of homogeneity in yours, makes YOU sound like the supremacist and totalitarian (whatever your ethnicity is).
I am lucky to claim citizenship of countries where people are decently educated and where the population shows intelligence and respect toward others and doesn't reject the unfamiliar. Only Americans believe that the US influence things on a global scale, we do not feel influenced by the US at all here in Europe or in Japan where my husband is from . I consider the UK to be far more influential today , same with the Middle East , same with China . I think France is one of the most influential country culturally speaking , But i also cherish the neutrality of the country i live in Switzerland, and the lack of interest for the US of the country i call home, and consider myself from, Iceland . And this has NOTHING to do with an homogeneous population , it has to do with using our brain properly and not being sheep programmed since birth to be idiotic patriots .
Now kindly bore someone else .
