I like the fact white Brazilians aren’t so conceited, untolerant and naziracifascists like the American smutts.
They’re much more less mongrels than the s**t from the country called Usa.
then ending my words
the family of xuxa is from trento Italy
she have nothing of portuguese culture or roots
she lives in brazil she speaks portuguese and has her name changed
End.
What are you talking about? It looks like Xuxa is of only 1/8th or 1/4th Italian by descent.
The rest of her ancestry is clearly documented here and its mainly Eastern and Central European roots.
I remember that xuxa was in an Argentine program, she said that she is Trentino in italy, she have Italian citizenship, there is a pic where she have the Italian document posing happily for the pic
Besides, she said that she was about to be born in Argentina, her family was close to the Argentine-Brazilian border and at the last moment they moved to Brazil.
in Brazil the inmigrants change su name and surname to portuguese names
Brazil has that strange policy, I don’t know why
sorry for my english
yes i have this surnames in my family, but my paternal grand, are mixed with white
