Racism against foreigners in Brazil

[Perkele]

It is a fact that some countries, societies and cultures are more corrupt than others. Observing that fact is not prejudice. Check out the latest data from transparency org about corruption perception of ALL countries of the world released this week. Brazil is not on the bottom but significantly lower than the top 20 least-corrupt nations.

And yes, in my opinion if a Brazilian air marshall were to arrest the wife of a famous American judge, the marshall would have been treated more than fairly. The Judge and his wife would have been in trouble and the cop probably would have been interviewed by all major networks and sent home with commendation. I am not prejudiced. That is a fact of life.

You must be citizen of the USA. Actually USA is one of the most racist countries I have ever been. The police doesn't treat foreigners very well at all. They might not be corrupt, but I do not believe a word you are writing. Going to USA is such a pain in the ass and if it can be avoided, I highly recommend not to go.

I'm quite sure that brazilian air marshall in a similar situation would be in trouble.

What bothers me is that US officials do everything they can to extract their citizens from foreign countries where they have committed crimes. Like those airline pilots who collided that GOL jet where more than 150 people died. They never showed up in a trial and it was plainly clear that the american pilots were wrong.

So please stop being so pompous and start obeying the laws of the countries where you go. You americans are no better than everybody else, you just think you are.

This goes for any situation that involves you in the Brazilian legal system. If you have the option to run, best take that option. As a gringo your chances of a fair crack of the whip are definitely against you. Non existent, if going up against a Brazilian with connections. The general phychy of the population at all levels does not expect fair play.

Do you infer that the USA legal system is fair? What would be the chances of a simple Brazilian policeman against an American citizen with connections in an USA court ? My guess is about the same chances as the American marshals in Brazil. Not any better.

This kind of bias and prejudice makes me mad.
