It is statements like these that lead me to believe that jtur88 lives in some kind of bubble. "Economic problems do not take priority here"... Are you serious!!!
Have you ever been to Brazil? .
Yes to both questions.
Yes, I live in a bubble called the USA, where everybody is fabulously wealthy and everybody lives in a house that the average South American would call palatial, and everybody has plenty to eat. And everybody has access to government assistance if they can't afford an automobile, a modern bathroom of their own, and all they can eat at the buffet line. The few people who do not have all that are the tiny number who have untreated behavioral problems.
Yes, I've been to Brazil three times, for a total of maybe three months, and I've been in 17 of the 26 states.

You can't run forever--they will catch you eventually. turn your self in.
Why american people are so concerned with issues about racism, homosexuality, politically correctness, prejudices, discrimination, collor of the people, people's nationality, etc... etc...?? Would not be better just to live and forget these things? Our life is so short. Is this an anglo saxon characteristic? I am latin and in my view all of this is nonsense.
asking users on city-data why Americans are so infatuated with those topics is pointless. Go buy some text books on American History and study them top to bottom. Then you will find the root of so many social differences in the US.
Once you finish with that, move on to another country. You pick. Racism exists in every corner the world.
Last, should we just keep the homosexual issues hush-hush and kill them like they do in Iran?
It is generally accepted that in Brazil, SOCIALLY racism is far less of a seperator than it is in the US. But PROFESSIONALLY it is the opposite, the higher up you go, the lighter skinned it gets.

That's even true in Africa, especially among women in public visibility professions. Models, TV presenters, air hostesses, PR people, there is always a preference for an African girl who apparently has some white ancestry.
Brazilian: I think Americans are very aware of the conflict between our image as the world's melting pot and the fact that we are really made up of all kinds of mismatched groups fighting for individual attention and equal rights. The half that do want to let the subject drop keep getting prodded into the discussion again by the half that disagrees with them.
