@InspectorCaracal literally any sort of media (especially video games) where characters are given a name and a nationality

whenever it falls on brazil the name is always something decidedly not brazilian

@squirrel for real tho as an american i never realized how little people aren't taught about Brazil until I became good friends with a Brazilian teacher and its kind of BS :/

@thor Brazilian Portuguese is even further away, sounding close to nothing like European Portuguese

@squirrel That's interesting. I'm not convinced that many people here in Norway are aware that not only do Brazilians not speak Spanish, but Portuguese, but it's not even the same as the Portuguese spoken in Portugal. Again, I was only alerted to the fact by my former boss. We are generally vague on the differences between South American countries, except we know that Peru is "pan flute and mountains Latin America" and Mexico is "hats, guitars and maracas Latin America"...

@squirrel ...also, that Brazilians are fond of soccer.

@thor likewise i know people who think Norway is mostly just death metal bands filming in snowy forests

@squirrel I theorise that the goths only come out at night or stay in the shadows, because you never really see them around.
