Miscigenation: What Europe could learn with Brazil
We had a discussion in school today about the immigration crisis in Europe, one of my teachers supported the idea that the europeans should accept the immigrants for the rich culture they would share with them. What he may have not noticed is that there is a difference between how people accept other cultures. For example we have Brazil. We are deeply miscigenated, in a class room you can find every kind of ethnicity, still all brazilians.
These things are so deep in our country that even our forests are miscigenated, in Brazil you can creep into a forest and find, between our manacás and cannonball trees jaqueiras, from Asia, mangueiras, from India, nogueiras, from Portugal, all of them living in peace. The truth is that in Brazil, you can be an immigrant and nobody will even notice. Actually, brazilian naval ships are helping immigrants in the european seas, and we are receiving lots of them.
We are actually very happy with those immigrants, many of them, while living very poorly, are bringing us their culture, and for our happiness: new food! But not every country are as welcomming as we are, many desire to keep their old identity, unbreakable. But let’s face it: even though the nowaday’s europeans have nothing to be blamed about colonialism, they are harvesting what they have planted.
