I'm binge-watching all your videos while I rest (I'm kind of sick). It's really cool to know that you came to my state (Paraná). And I think it's really cool that you learned Portuguese, really.
Sou brasileira 🇧🇷🇧🇷 descendente de italianos. O Brasil tem etnias do mundo todo, nosso fenótipo é variado, tanto que temos o passaporte mais cobiçado do mundo, afinal qualquer indivíduo, seja caucasiano, africano, asiático pode ser brasileiro. O lamentável é que os países da Europa não ensinam nas escolas que mandaram seus cidadãos pobres para o Brasil e todos de repente se surpreendem em ver um brasileiro falando alemão, italiano, polonês ou outro idioma. Temos uma população descendente muito maior que os países de orígem, como exemplo o Líbano que tem 6 milhões de libaneses e o Brasil entre descendentes e naturalizados tem 20 milhões de libaneses
Curitiba/PR - has the second largest community of Poles in the world behind Chicago USA São Mateus do Sul/PR - is the Polish capital of Paraná, about 80% of the population is of Polish descent
It's important always remember that, besides these locations are the places of the initial settlements of imigrants, they (all group of imigrants) spread throughout the entire country, mixing with the other brazilians. Some stay on these locations, many others, in generations, live on secundary settlements or spread across the Brazilian states.
Not exactly related to the video but imo we Latin Americans shouldn't be included in the motto "import third world, become third world" because we imported first world, and they thrived in our lands. So nothing fairer than traveling to to Europe without being seem as the same people who are causing problems currently. Not implying anything, just venting out some personal frustration
First and third world are outdated Cold War terms. They have little value left in today’s situation. Almost all former third world countries now have very modern well off parts and not so modern not so well off parts just like many western countries like the United States do today. Only some countries in Africa and countries like Papua New Guinea can still fully be considered third world in the old sense of the word. And if you’re fully of European decent but Brazilian and go to Brazil I’m sure they won’t think much of it and when you mention being Brazilian they might express visible disbelief. I’ve heard people complaining about that before. And not completely unfounded I get that it can be annoying
@@LewisWirth Oh hello. I'm not White. I'm a Mestizo i.e a Brown guy. My point is that I don't want to be lumped together with *those people* who are causing trouble in Europe. That's it. I may look like them, but I'm not like them. Again, I'm merely venting out personal frustration, - and I kinda regret making my original comment, because your comment section is not the appropriate place for that, but since I have already made it, I'll leave it as it is. I hope you have a good day.
Oh actually something you say there I've been felling myself too visiting Latin America. The mixture in Latin America obviously causes some level of class differences and in turn class and racial conflict but I feel like it's in a very different sense then the groups of people in Europe that are predominantly Muslim. The none Muslims from these same places have made it seem to me that the religion and its fundamentalism is a big part of it. There seems to be a lot more conflict and I think there will be very noticeable differences for the time to come between Europe's "multiculturalism" and that of Latin America "multiculturalism". If you put different groups together that always makes room for conflict. Rather that's left and right black and white catholic and protestant or man and women. And with your original statement, I think it's not nuanced enough to be objectively true in either direction. Latin America is so mixed diverse, it being considered a race in the USA is just stupid it's a very brought cultural linguistic grouping and you can get people arguably even more diverse then inside the USA, white black East asian central asian native american pacific islander. Motto's like "import third world, become third world" are just dumbed down rallying cries for the masses, it's not something super academic, universal or fact based. It just has a general idea that it tries to convey and I think that that idea bares some truth but already the concept of third world is outdated and a similar saying that's not objective. Anyway I spend way too long writing this but respect if you read it all. And perhaps this isn't the best place for this discussion but then I'm partly responsible for going along with it
@@LewisWirth Oh hey hm yes I read it all. I agree with what you said. When different groups live together, tension inevitably builds up. However I think that's not a big point of contempt in L-America as it is in Europe or in the US. To give you an example: I have two ethnic German sisters, Black cousins, mestizo relatives and so on and so forth, and I assure you, we never argued over race. For many of us Latinos, race is just a factual matter i.e. some are born dark, some are pale and some are brown and that's it. I think culture matters a lot more. And I think Islam is really incompatible with our way of living - by 'our' I mean both Latin American and Western. I have nothing against Muslim people, I'm simply scared by their religious extremists. Period. When I see online supremacists criticizing Brown people I get really offended because I'm nothing like they claim I am. I don't want to let alone . OBS: by offended I don't mean woke offended 'aww muh Gawd, I'm soo offended'. No. I love freedom of speech. I think people should be able to express themselves as long as they're not hurting anyone. I just wish people would get to know us Latinos better. Period.
@@Dankschon yeah I find your stance very reasonable. Being mixed race there’s no reason to be for anything like an ethnostate because that’s not in your genetic interest. Makes perfect sense.
Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina and Venezuela attracted millions of people around the world in the 19th and 20th century because these countries were really rich but they fall down. And now the USA and the UK is following the steps of those countries
You're leaving out some info there Mate don't conflate countries that were very particular with the kinds of people they let in and countries that absolutely aren't. Also that whole lot of countries you named except Venezuela are also relieving immigrants themselves even to this day, and they're not particular about it like back in the day.
No.. Polska w latach dwudziestych uporczywie szukała miejsc do skolonizowania, ale wystartowaliśmy w tym wyścigu o 40 lat za późno i w momencie gdy mapa była już dawno podzielona i w czasie gdy europejskie potęgi ścigały się już na trochę innych płaszczyznach, doszło nawet do tego że za pośrednictwem Ligi Morskiej i Kolonialnej próbowaliśmy nawet założyć kolonię na terytorium Brazylii która była już wtedy niepodległym państwem, przywieźliśmy tam osadników, zbudowaliśmy domy i przywieźliśmy zwierzęta, ale niestety eksperyment się nie udał bo władze Brazylii kazały nam się spakować i wracać skąd przybyliśmy, czyli z powrotem do Polski...
im from Curitiba and part of my blood is Polish. Our people here were hostilized by the germans who settled the city first, then by the northern italians that came a bit later... our people were sent to the countryside, among the white russians, the ukrainians and other eastern europeans and did pretty well.

Gostaria que ele visitasse o oeste do Paraná, há vários lugares com influencia alemã por este lado do estado.

My family went to Paraná 1893
The number of german and polish descendantes together in brazil are about 7 to 8 million, is a lot of people
Nooo, the number of Germans descendents are about 15 millions, Polish are like 3 millions and Italians 40 millions!

very nice video, thanks for making it!
My pleasure!
The lady in the bakery says that the dessert you bought was Pope John Paul II's favorite dessert.
ahhhh thanks
There are Polish communities in the state of Rio Grande do Sul too: Dom Feliciano/RS and Áurea/RS.
