I've traveled all over the world and no country has been as racist in my experience as Brazil has been.

Most of the upper class is either white or light-skinned. They dominate the political class, the corporate leader class, etc.

Also, light-skinned ppl have all the resources whilst black ppl live in horrible conditions. I found out that that slavery was much more worse and significant in brazil than it was in the USA.

when my friend and I visited (we're black americans), we got so many stares from white/light skins as if we didn't belong there. we tried to hook up with phat-assed brazilian babes on the beach and some assholes almost got in a fist fight with us. these ppl didn't even know the women. they just had a problem with black men flirting with light-skinned women.

they even knew some racist phrases that they managed to say at us in their broken english
