Your perspective is truly thought-provoking. I find myself in alignment with many of the points you have raised. Taking a step back to consider the theory on a broader societal scale, the concept of feeling secure among those who share a similar background is a universal phenomenon that transcends cultural and racial boundaries. For example, the historical experiences of Native Americans highlight how safety and fear were interwoven within their own tribal communities and in interactions with European settlers. Similarly, the African American community, during times of slavery and segregation, sought solace and security among their own, while encountering fear and anxiety in predominantly white environments. Jake, I can see how this perspective might resonate with you, given your own experiences and insights that you bring to the table. It's very natural to feel that Argentina is safer to you incomparison to northern Brazil. Your insights and perspective are truly commendable.

Yeah you blend in there

Yes, you notice people who will reject their origin and ethnicity if they come from a #sexy country. I see a guy on RUclips. He’s quite obviously of Indian descent, but he was born in Australia so he never talks about India the culture or his ethnicity he just says he’s Australian. England is “sexier” than Pakistan and that’s why this cat was rejecting his heritage and culture.. because it’s less than great for most to be “from” Pakistan in contrast to English. In short, he thinks his English birthplace gives him higher status than Pakistan.

Yeah, they are all looking for an upgrade, easy to see why when you visit their countries/countrymen.
Like the bald and bankrupt visit to india, a hellscape...
But one can't change their face/dna like that, need to think long term and upgrade by breeding with your more desired ethnicity, can't put on a kimono and call yourself Japanese.

Yep

[@InqvisitorMagnvs]

It's not about being "sexy", it's about White countries not being allowed to have ethnic identities. A brown person born in England can call himself "English", meanwhile White Americans living in North America for 400 years are told they are just Europeans living on "stolen land".
A White person born in Pakistan, or China, or Nigeria, or Japan would never even try to claim to be Pakistani, Chinese, Nigerian, Japanese. (But the likely next leader of UK Conservative Party is going to be a Nigerian-replacing an Indian...)

Northern Brazil doesn't have more african. Most people are mixed of native american and european.

[@JakeRunnels]

Relative to the South there is not more?

[@JonRoberts-st3jf]

@@JakeRunnels The black african dna is more prevalent in the north, way more.

I understand you are viewing Latin America with an American glass to race, where there is a clear division between people by their skin color, however from my experience living in Brazil and in Europe, I can say that it’s not the skin color that makes a place more or less civilized, in my view the European Christian culture is what makes this difference, Europeans following Christian/Jewish customs and values has done what no other people has accomplished before, and this culture/values can be transferred to people of other ethnicity and you should expect similar results, however we all know that those values have been constantly attacked and things are decaying ever since. In regard to feeling safer when with Europeans, I guess this is quite common for any human to feel more connected with their ethnicity. Living in the UK I can say that most people that has an immigration background and was born here will consider themselves British, and this identity of who is British or English has been changed, now days anyone can say I’m European, just by being born in here, not that I agree, but the only people to blame are the POLs who let this happen. Europe abandon their Christian religion and culture values, and now it accept anything.
