I just have to post this video because I laugh all the time when I see it. Mostly I laugh because Brazil is actually allowed to show this commercial on TV. I can only imagine the outrage if this video was played in the US. It would probably be the top story on CNN and then the top law suit of the year.
Happy Saturday :)
Tchau,

Sara,
ReplyDeleteI hear you, race in Brazil is discussed from a completely different angle...
However, I still think most Americans are hiper sensitive about the subject...and most Brazilians would have absolutely no idea what you are talking about!
My humble opinion is that talking about race is not wrong, if is not done with a denegrating intent, to put someone else down.
But it sounds like in the US, you are offending people just be pointing out racial characteristics, which is definitely not the case in Brazil!

I completely agree with you about being able to talk about it but not to put someone down. The differences in the two countries is amazing to me :)
