Answer 9

Yes, Brazil like the USA is a melting pot of Ethnicity.  Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul (both in the South of Brazil) have very large German immigrant populations.  São Paulo has a huge Japanese and Italian community.  In fact it it is very difficult to describe what a Brazilian looks like.  I am third Generation Brazilian and I have Blond Hair blue eyes due to British decent.  One interesting note is that Brazilian Passports are some of the most falsified because the passport can be used for someone who looks virtually of any ethnicity.
