Is Brazil a country of only whites????






















You see a travel poster of Brazil in Amsterdam today with the slogan "Brazil is calling. Celebrate life here."

But somehow it don’t look Brazilian to you, especially on a cold autumn day. When you think of Brazil you think of Carnival in Rio, samba football and smiling black and white faces. But this poster reminds of Portugal, not Brazil.
We are conditioned to see Brazil as a multicultural football team, not as Portugal overseas. So we think they also should have put a black person in the picture, just to give it a more Brazilian look and feel.
