Brazilian Stereotypes
- Outside of all the known Brazilian stereotypes (Samba, Soccer, Carnaval and Women), there are also our regional stereotypes.
- Each person who come from particular region/state of Brazil have his own 'famous'.
- Here are some of them: Acre (state - North): the Acre doesn't exists.
- People don't talk too much about Acre, so there is the reason for stereotype.
- Amazonas (state - North): Amazonas is many times cunfused with the world's biggest rainforest, the Amazon; which many Brazilians think that exists just in Brazil (the major part is in Brazil, but also exist in other 7 countries from South America).
- Everywhere in North: the Indian Land.
- As a richiest nature region of Brazil, the people apply to that region this conotation.
- But the most native indians from Brazil was died, and many languages and traditions dies too.
- Goiás (state - Centre-West): Sertanejo Doubles Land.
- The sertanejo (Brazil's country music) have special force in this state, and the most sertanejo's singers come from there.
- Mato Grosso & Mato Grosso do Sul (states - Centre-West): the World's Barn.
- With an economy based in cattle-raising and agriculture, there are the brazilian cowboys and where come from the stereotype.
- Bahia (state - Northeastern): Lazy Land.
- Brazilians see the bahianos as the lazy people.
- Don't ask me why 'cause I don't know xD.
- São Paulo (state - Southeast): stressed people.
- Too much work, a lot of things to do, makes any one stressed!
- Rio de Janeiro (state - Southeast): Tourism & Gringos.
- Minas Gerais (state - Southeast): A lot of cheese.
- Espírito Santo (state - Southeast): this state isn't important.
- Almost the same case as Acre.
- Paraná & Santa Catarina (states - South): Where come from the prettiest women in Brazil.
- This explain itself.
- Rio Grande do Sul (state - South): Too cold, too european and very much gay.
- As you see, there's so much more to discover in Brazil than the São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro cities.
- People shouln't generalize and never look to the stereotypes.
