That being said, unfortunately the racist slang I believe is largely the same. <br /><br />As an example, my older brother and sister were adopted from a São Paulo orphanage at ages 9 and 12. They are both dark-skinned, but my brother is several shades darker than my sister. When they were first adopted, my parents were shocked to hear my sister calling my brother "nego".Lee Angoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12735391091599963495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489104176400287367.post-1120251730462565212010-06-20T02:00:36.444-04:002010-06-20T02:00:36.444-04:00Good on you for being so frank, Lee.

You mentioned that there was no similar slang to refer to a white person but I wonder if that would be true within a group not predominantly "white". I'm sure plenty of terms exist. <br /><br />I remember the classist attitude from when I was in Rio ages ago as well. All the parties I went to, no matter where they were located, were always predominantly "white", even very public locations like beach parties. I definitely felt as though I were in a bubble. Glad to hear you aren't afraid to wander out of that bubble! Unfortunately it can be so easy to remain sheltered and blind, all-inclusive vacations are a testament to that!Hazel Suttonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17751331328296257226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489104176400287367.post-58426034523219093752010-06-17T15:09:34.990-04:002010-06-17T15:09:34.990-04:00wow lee, thank you for sharing such an insightful ...wow lee, thank you for sharing such an insightful and thoughtful post, especially about social norms regarding gender, race, and sexual orientation...minhhuyenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06340863360188834464noreply@blogger.com
