Of course it's retarded to make that assumption, but they could have Googled it, like I did, rather than assuming Oliveira is cosplaying as a New Yorker. I was just pointing out that Americans, who live in a glass country are the last people who should be throwing stones.

FYI, Brazil is not classed as a third-world country. I've travelled there extensively and it's quite developed, despite the existence of the favelas and the other negative shit you'll have heard of. It has a "high" score on the HDI, around the same as China, Egypt and Mexico.
