And many Americans will find this out too late. There are already reports that the Rio policia have targeted black Americans who come their thinking that they would be treated just like the Euros and white Americans, not knowing that Brazil closet prejudicial view of blacks--even though they have the largest pop of people of African descent in the western hemisphere. And let's not start on sao Paola . And the way that they have devided the city.
in general parker...all tourist get the same treatment. you're good to go with your dollars. that's pretty much any country. as far as policia they will jack anyone. there isnt any difference with brotha. i didnt see anything nor have i heard stories.
1. white english teacher was shot twice in the abd by off-duty policia at bar party
2. two white cops from the states were robbed by two brasil officers for cash, jewelery and cell phns.
most of the other stuff is just being stupid.
as noted olympic goers will have a good time. they'll most stay in tourist areas. security will be beefed up.
brasil's core is about 60% brown. i'd probably take wild guess and say romero (based on his girl) and gracie are probably mixed guys. it just has a pyramid society with whites at top and africa at the bottom which is nothing new.
problem is people think if you go to developing type countries people are going to be standing there with open arms. ALL FANTASY SHIT. it's suppose to be something more than your home which it isnt.
for those going enjoy the Olympics 2016. i'm going for the 2012 Olympics so i can see lolo run.
one of the only reason i like the states.
