As a Brazilian from Sao Paulo, I used to consider myself white. But now I live in North America, and I don't think that anymore.
If you think about, many very white people in Brazil get nicknamed "Alemão" (German), independently of their origins. That's a sign that we are not so white after all.
- touringcomplete 9y agoMy grandmother was olive-skinned French but still considered white. My dad was semi-olive skinned. I’m completely pale af French-Irish with a tiny bit of West African and Asian. PS: I guess I should monetize my genes: 6’5, gifted, blond to brown w age, blue to hazel. Fuck, I should just visit Brazil and bang some rich ladies trying for preggers. lmao.
- John_KZ 9y agoThe white/non-white dichotomy is purely an American construct. When they say "white" they mean "anglo-saxon". In my opinion anglo-saxons are actually red, not white, but that's a differnt argument. The rest of the world uses ethnicity/descent to describe skin colour/appearance.
