Answer 1

I don't think so... Brazil has many different kinds of people... you can find German looking girls anywhere... we have a huge miscellanea of people here... of coarse here in the south we have some whiter people, but that's because the weather is colder down here and because of a bigger european influence...

I said bigger, not the only influence and not only in the south.

Answer 3

For sure!

Not just Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul and part of Paraná.

Because the Southern of Brazil has the most quantity of people descendants of Germanians, Polandians etc... But all of them speak Portuguese and some of them speak their old languages (where their ancestors lived in Europe) .

Ok?

Answer 4

Not at all!

If anyone here says otherwise, they're lying. I've lived in Rio Grande do Sul for a couple of years and I was expecting to see very white people only, as the myth says. And I travelled to Santa Catarina a few times.

How wrong I was. It is the same mixture as everywhere else and nothing differs from Sao Paulo, for example.

There are a few very small towns all around Southern Brazil, which you will find a few traditional German and Polish colonies. But that's all.

But it is true that most Brazilians THINK that Santa Catarina is a "Gringo Country". But they don't know what they are talking about.

Answer 5

brazillians are not keen on americans so where are you getting the gringo part??? as far as "white people" are concerned or as I would call sickly looking people (close to death looking) most girls from anypart of brasil have some color in their skin ..you must not have travelled all over brazil let alone latin america!!!!!!!!!

Answer 6

well... yes and no!

the all south is a other country to me!

I'm from Paraná... and have ever go to others states that wasn't Santa Catarina and Pr...

soo Yes!!

South is an other country!

Is good that you got seen this!

bye-bye

Answer 7

The Southers states of Brazil do have more European influence, as the northeast states have more African influence... in every sense not only in the way they look but also the culture, food and folclore (popular parties). Also, they are quite rich states if you compare to north and northeast of Brazil.

Despite the above, they are still Brazilians and act as such. Brazil is very multicultural and we have a huge variety of collors and looks.

Answer 8

Depend...

The situation is:

The Northeast and Sao Paulo is a Mix region, have old costums of Africa and is a poor place.

The North is a Indigian region.

The Rio de Janeiro is differente, because the South Zone is European Region, North Zone is a American Region and West Zone is a Africa Region.

The South Region was colonized by European people, have German costums, white people, blonde hair. Similar of picture.
