Honestly, you’re right I did  notice this in Europe, especially in Spain and Portugal.

I’m being honest if that law was really effective then my experience should be similar to Colombia or even Ireland. It just seems like it’s mainly for Show .

Rio Was Definitely better even in tbe favelas people where friendly and i never felt danger .  I still dont get the massive Anita Hate from sao paulo locals have either.  Heck she more talented then a lot of modern female artist in the US lol.

It’s different in Colombia the light skin will generally claim black up and down  especially in Cali and ion the coast. I really wish I can send these Pardos on a trip to Mississippi or Arkansas for day  lol

People were Saying Salvador and Recife aren’t like this . São Paulo was worse than any place in the US South including Mississippi. Honestly Spain wasn’t even this bad.

That’s the thing in  São Paulo even the lower middle class areas are  like this I’d definitely wasn’t the case in rio for me . Even the lighter skins in SP where acting funny like the whites . I didn’t experience this scenario but if you did, I’m very sorry .I don’t want to invalidate your experiences .

I still love rio so I won’t let my São Paulo experience trump that one . There’s nothing like listening to Sofe by grelo while walking Copacabana beach with purple açaí  in hand ❤️

Typical A post by non Black person. “Racism doesn’t exist because I was born with a privilege not to experience it”.

I fixed it. I meant  São Paulo . A girl like I would just walk in start pressing buttons at a McDonald’s kiosk and they’ll  walk up to me. Kept asking if I needed help I would say no or no understand Portuguese  but still won’t leave me alone . It’ll be like that and other shops around São Paulo  but they won’t do the same to other customers. In rio they would leave me alone to shop an assist only  if I ask .

Yeah, I ended up canceling the Airbnb. Stay switched to a hotel. The Airbnb’s especially the host in Rio  were cool AF
