proud brazilian

Giselle Bündchen has part German ancestors. You get angry if our media just shows favelas, corrupt police, homless kids, violence and crime about Brazil.

Then I could also get angry that the media abroad only shows bad things about Germany.... But the media usually just shows negative things because that's what catches the peoples' attention. Germans are not the only people who can be ignorant. In Brazil you need to study more about Germany instead of just repeating old stereotypes.

My grandfather is French and I know that Germany has been disliked in other European countries because of the terrible war crimes. I can understand that. France for example had been destroyed twice and a lot of Polish and French people were forced to work in nazi Germany as slave laborers. Many Polish people were murdered during the German occupation, Warsaw had been completly destroyed and Poland became communist as a result of WW II. So I understand if some Europeans have hard feelings against Germany. But Brazil never had anything to do with Germany.

In Europe the attitude towards Germany has recently improved. For example now like 70% of French have a good opinion of Germany. Also 70% in Spain and Holland and Russia. If they can do it why do you as Brazilian still stick to the racist hatred towards Germans ?

@ Angie, don't believe everything that people write on the internet. Some Germans are racist but many are not. The person who posts racist stuff about Argentina might not be German but a crazy faker who is obsessed with creating hatred against Germans. Because of the dark history Germany is an easy target for this. I guess some people who are losers in personal life need to talk bad about other nations to build up their low self esteem. But hatred harms everybody and I think it's better if people live together peacefully with respect. Nobody in Germany hates Argentina. Peace
