The right’s main concern today is Venezuela, though - which, oddly enough, fits nicely with American Imperialist interests

But Bolsonaro has talked about wanting to attack Venezuela to defeat communism.

Metal Cat posted:It's hard to fully illustrate this, but I'll try to explain. Basically, you can kind of start with the hispanic concept of castas since there was an equivalence of terms in Brazil through categorizations like mameluco (white + amerindian), cafuzo ( black + ameridian) and mulato (black + white). IIRC asian ancestry wasn't even considered since japanese presence only really started in the 20th century and any other groups like the chinese were negligible at the time. Jesus. This makes the concept of race seem so stupid and arbitrary.

get that OUT of my face posted:the brazilian junta actively supported fascist movements in uruguay and bolivia (with uruguay, they threatened to invade if they elected a government they perceived as leftist), they helped out with the overthrow of allende in chile, and they were the ones that started Operation Condor. so bolsonaro probably isn't going to annex anybody but you'd better believe he'll try and make this a continental movement https://twitter.com/BrasilWire/status/1050391254188654592

But agreed on the second one, my mother is a super progressive PT voter but I'm extremely embarassed to bring her to places like chinatowns in the US or watch asian cinema because she keeps making loving charlie chan style impressions.

Lawman 0 posted:Don't you have a huge Japanese population though? Yeah, which means people are racist directly to asian people's faces It's a sort of ignorant racism that they believe is harmless, but of course it isn't. I think it happens in other latin american countries there's this japanese wrestler that worked a few years in mexico and his signature pose is opening one of his eyes (probably the most common racist "joke" asians hear, people ask them to open their eyes)

I recall on the same week people in my country being super condescending towards Palestine during the Cast Iron ordeal but then having to witness everyone sort of berating a Jewish family having a funeral on the nearby cemetery, save for like my dad (Who's very Pro-IDF) and me (Who follows Ali Abunimah on Twitter). And yeah, the race ordeal still bleeds here as well. I know for certain that authorities started double checking me a whole more after 9/11 and was constantly told not to grow my facial hair and to keep my ID extra secure "since terrorists could use it to sneak into the Portuguese territory and do bad things here".

Latest poll pegs Bolso at 52 and Haddad at 48. Maybe there might be an upset?

If Haddad squeezes out a win all the Bolsonaro heads are going to claim the election was stolen, so it's mass murder either way.
