Unique Melting Pot
Brazil has many different ethnic groups and that is surely no problem in south america. Brazil's first inhabitants were of Indian descent and with the majority of Portuguese that call brazil home today they have no taboos with mixing races which makes up the one of a kind brazilian culture. Notedly Portuguese is also the official language of brazil with 99% of the country speaking it.

ReplyDeletei would have never known that Brazil had so many different types of people. It is almost like America, everyone is allowed in Brazil.
ReplyDeleteThat is an interesting demographic- 99% of the country speaks Portuguese.
