missy-t1 said:There are alot of different ethnic backgrounds in Brazil? Whats the history behind this? ANd when you say Indian do you mean the native indians who already lived there or indians from the indian subcontinent? I heard (acually on tFS!) that the Phillipines is the 'Brazil of the east'. Which ethnic backgrounds?
gaucherive said:there is a lot of german ethnicity in brazil because they say most of the germans fled to brazil during their defeat in ww2. yes the philippines is the 'brazil' of the east only because it has a lot of conquerors and rulers. it has been under the spanish rule for hundreds of years. then japan. then america. unlike japan (ai tominaga, devon aoki), china and korea though, we still have to see a filipina model rise to the top.
