Surprised he’s from Southern Brazil which has the highest percentage of whites in in the country. Overall, brazil is diverse.
Some of the hugest African religious communities in Brazil are literally in the South. That may have changed considering the uprising of far-right ideology in the country, but still, it’s the way it’s been for quite some time
One of my favourite football stars of all time. Him and Ronaldo are the reasons why I support Brazil
