Actually i think that heritage in a new land is one of the roots of the problem. Here in Brazil you have an enormous mix of Portuguese, dutch, french, german, black,native, italian, japonese, hungarian, polish, spanish and even english. But here the heritage is in the background it's not a big aprt of society as it is in the United States. There are no little italies and the only races that do tend to keep there own little colonies are the germans and the poles and the japonese to a certain extent. But the culture of BRAZIL is wholely its own. Its music is Brazilian music, its literature is Brazilian literature.

Although racism does exist here, for a country that is built along similarly diverse nationalities as the U.S. it has a considerably lot less than the aforementioned.
