Comments for Brazilians in London Get Five Years in Jail for Printing Fake Passports at http://www.brazzilmag.com , comment 0 to 12 out of 12 comments http://www.brazzilmag.com Wed, 15 Oct 2008 16:14:00 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7295/1/#pc_9244 it saddens me to see so many brazilian criminals pouring into europe i think they shoukld all go back to brazil - nick Sun, 20 May 2007 14:59:15 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7295/1/#pc_4658 Quote “If you don't think brazilians are stereotyped according to their behavior, you would be the only stupid one here” Don’t be so ignorant, just because people like you do it doesn’t make it correct. So according to you the stereotypes are correct and its right to do it, get out into the real world and stop showing your ignorance. With regard to the person above who wants to draw a distinction between legal and illegal; I say look to your own Government. I know many Brazilians living in the UK and they all work and pay tax and national insurance, this money I collected by the UK Government, they know full well who has a visa and who doesn’t but they don’t do anything about it. How is it that many of the people I know have no visa yet are still employed and paying tax, many work more than 1 job and most work about 50 to 60 hours a week, why do the Government except tax and national insurance from people they say are illegal? Just for information to people who don’t know the UK I can tell you that there are loads of illegals living and working here with the tacit consent of the UK Government. - Ana Kissed Mon, 02 Oct 2006 09:04:11 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7295/1/#pc_4636 Leiazão I don't see how your point of view is correct, by only distinguishing brazilians who live here, in brazil, and brazucas living there, abroad europe or us. But.... BEING ILLEGAL is NOOOOOOOOOT a green light to KIIIIIIIIIIILL THEM, THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS! Of course, if you are the country of Guantánamo, or supports this system, then things are much explained. Other is many ignorant gringos hold instantaneous sterotypes against brazilians! haha (sarcastic) - heyhey Sat, 30 Sep 2006 00:18:39 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7295/1/#pc_4629 Look pessoas you better fix this odd site cause everytime i place an smiley i return without any of my content!!! that's going to be my THRID time rewriting this thing. Which i now haven't got any time to write anymore and lost completely my fragile sense of HUMOR!!!! - heyhey Fri, 29 Sep 2006 16:18:33 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7295/1/#pc_4627 Good evenning guys, I did not expect that my comment would be followed by many other comments, so I would like to defend my point of view!!! What I wanted to say first is that people should distinguish Brazilian people by the fact living here or not, before stating there opinions. Brazilian people in Brazil are having a hard time making ends meet, this results in crime, prostitution, etc, etc. (you will never see rich Brazilians killing inocent people, at least no more than here) By my comments above, I was talking about Brazilians who are living here!!! They come to Europe (USA JAPAN) with the aim of prospering, making money to return to their own country. In this quest they do not cause many problems, e.g.crime, rapes, fights, etc, etc. To clarify my conclusion I will compare Brazilians with other foreigners: We do not look for problems with indigenous citzens, we adapt to the environment we live, people in europe trust brazilians (they have the keys of the houses where they work at), indigenous people are not affraid of us!!! This in contrast with arabs, for instance. (majority of them are good, have a few arabic friends) About being polite in the person's presence (comment of Blah) and holding specific generalizations about a culture. Yes that is true, and it is a very normal thing everywhere in this planet. And I understand it too. We all have prejudices. And it is comprehensible that indigenous people dislike the fact there are so many aliens living in their country. (In amsterdam for instance, there are more foreigners than dutch people!!!) But people, what would you do if you were in their position???? I bed you would do just the same, if you had the chance!!!

But it is go a bit far saying this kind of news is what give brazilians a "bad name". What about the tons of BS news we hear from America and else where and you don't hear brazilians say "...that's why we find them ignorant perverts war mongers..." and what ever.Maybe that should be the case?? lol! You people shoulda admit you hold stereotypes against brazilians, for your own goood!!! lol - heyhey Fri, 29 Sep 2006 00:08:15 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7295/1/#pc_4619 well my friend, when a country has a population of 1 million plus in a country and 70-80% of them are there illegally, when they're caught doing whatever, or in the case of the young brazilian who was wrongfully and mistakenly killed in london last year, 9 out of 10 times they're found to be in said country ILLEGALLY. Then you find that groups of brazilians are setting up printing presses and faking passports, drivers licenses, social security cards, etc. Just a few months ago they busted a group of brazilians in massachusetts doing the very same shit as they found in england. Gets old after a while. If you don't think brazilians are stereotyped according to their behavior, you would be the only stupid one here. And unfortunately, you have no one to blame except the vast majority of your brethren that obviously have such a dreary reality in their own country that they're willing to finance their lives and risk jail terms as well as deportation to get out of brazil! - Thu, 28 Sep 2006 22:34:13 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7295/1/#pc_4610 The problem leiazao is that generally Europeans are fairly a polite lot and they’ll not, at least in your presence, speak ill of your nationality. That’s not to say that they don’t hold specific generalizations about your culture. Maybe the do, maybe they don’t – the point is that you’ll never really know. Place a microphone in front of you average Londoner and they boast the blessings of multiculturalism, pull that same individual away from the public record, and politically correct police, and they tell you something completely different. Truth be told, yes, Brazil is known for “futebol” (this is a given when you look at how popular the sport is in Europe) although I highly doubt anyone knows what “Samba” is or from where it comes. Nor do I think they actually care. For those that actually have some information about Brazil generalizations usually fall into two categories. First. The women are easy. This stems from Gringo tales of getting tail while visiting Brazil, as well as the legions of hundreds of thousands of Brazilian prostitutes working in Europe right now. Second. Brazil is one of the most violent countries on Earth. And this is a no-brainer. It’s not a generalization; it is a factual and statistically verifiable truth. All that being said, I doubt your average European possesses any real opinions about Brazilians in general. We enter in contact with so many people from all around the world; we’ve grown numb and - given how immigrants respect our countries – a little disillusioned and disappointed with them. Tell them what they want to hear, and hope they go away. - blah Thu, 28 Sep 2006 13:50:18 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7295/1/#pc_4606 Serotypes R us is a very ignorant attitude to have in 2006, all English are snobs, all Yanks are war mongers and ignorant about the outside world, all Brazilians are thieves, all stupid and ignorant things to say. Your above post says far more about you than anything else. - Ana Kissed Thu, 28 Sep 2006 11:53:27 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7295/1/#pc_4605 How is it showing disrepect to Brazilians if you are an innocent tourist spending money in five * hotels, restaurants etc and some robbers invade your hotel, rob you , try and kill you? Brazilians do not have agood repuation abroad, I used to hire Brazilians at very good salaries but they are lazy, want all and give nothing back, insult my clients.. wake up ans smell the coffee! - Stephen Thu, 28 Sep 2006 11:27:31 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7295/1/#pc_4604 I am a PROUD Brazilian who's living abroad since 1990!! I have been in many countries in Europe. Till now I have noticed that people here in Europe like Brazilians a lot. We represent Samba, Football, party and other good things!!! I am someone who follows the news daily and I have not noted substantial negative news about Brazilian who live abroad. But you, tourists, who go to Brazil showing no respect for the people, will be a target for Brazilian criminals!! regards, leizao - leiazao Thu, 28 Sep 2006 10:10:27 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7295/1/#pc_4600 and brazilians wonder why they have a "bad name" internationally. - Wed, 27 Sep 2006 15:26:36 +0100
