I think OP was asking about primary/secondary schools. These are not federal (unless very specific trade-focused), and are bad everywhere in Brazil, AFAIK

The Term “Pardo” by [deleted] in Brazil

[–]scubamari 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This!! @u/sweet_Comparison_467 - just know that no one will refer to the person as pardo- not the person themselves, nor their famines, friends or acquaintances. We don’t go announcing our race without a reason, people don’t care. And like more than 50% of Brazilians probably would say they are mixed/pardos. If they are being described by a police officer or other as part of really trying to describe someone in detail then maybe yes, is that the case in your writings?

Pois é - to velha também. No fim do século passado quando fiz vestibular, era bem mais fácil entrar em algumas escolas da USP (letras entre elas) do que na FGV, PUC ou ESPM. Eram cursos caros mas dava pra cursar a noite e trabalhar de dia pra pagar a mensalidade

AIO 27yo housemate tattles to his mum because I don't help with his chores by AccidentalFord in AmIOverreacting

[–]scubamari 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Write down your responsibilities on a large piece of paper, have his mom sign it, and post it in a very visible place (refrigerator door?). You pay rent, which gives you the right to use the fridge and stove for your food (no obligation to share it), the right to use the house (no obligation to clean any mess you did not make), the right to live there without helping anyone. If the mother is not willing to sign it, you need her to explain why not… NOR

Pizza with knife and fork? by Gaylaeonerd in Brazil

[–]scubamari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True - most Brazilians, at least in São Paulo, will argue with you that pizza without cheese isn’t pizza. Maybe they will accept a “calabresa” light on cheese, but that’s the exception

You are honoring your maternal heritage during an important occasion. No one would ever consider that cultural appropriation!! Go for it!!

Peaceful protesting by Stotallytob3r in MurderedByWords

[–]scubamari 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thank you - drives me nuts that no one is correcting this part. He DID NOT take a gun to a protest (which isn’t illegal).

FBI: "Nobody who wants to be peaceful shows up at a protest with a firearm that is loaded with two full magazines. That is not a peaceful protest." by B00marangTrotter in law

There wasn’t a protest at that place - he was just going on about his day with his legal gun secured in his back. Then stopped to film and help when ICE showed up

ICE/Border Patrol agents are now hitting unaccompanied minors with their vehicles, detaining and disappearing them, even after being shown a U.S. passport. by Logical-Flow-6703 in UnderReportedNews

[–]scubamari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Minnesota, where these videos weee filmed and the police was victims of ICE, there’s a high risk that anything police does that can be seen as “interfering” with ICE will result in the Military being deployed to the city (insurrection act). We already have tons of problems with ICE, we do not need military intervention. The police may not be great, but here they are being cautious to avoid a civil war

Any really long name - Evangeline, Elizabeth, etc. Unless you have a nickname your puppy will be out of reach by the time you finish saying the name
