How to deal with xenophobia Even though i never suffered/witnessed any case of Xenophobia, i'm aware of its sad existence. I'm brazilian and i have the dream of visiting several european countries as well USA, but i know that in the sea of roses, there will always be some thorns. We Brazilians, when not seem as a very happy, party loves, we're seen as disonest (in the case of the men) or easy profiteer hoes (in the case of the women) by several people around the countries (not by everyone). Unfortunatelly, some Brazilians leaving to another countries have the opportunity of bringing the natives of that country a good image, but instead of so, they will screw up everything, compromising the image of future Brazilians (and sometimes, the entire american people!) who will try a life over these countries and these lasts are oftenly going to pay the price of the first. However, to don't say i'm playing the victim here, i must reckon that some of the Brazilians, known as a receptful and friendly people will also judge foreigners a lot based on stereotypes, and this make the coexistence among the human kind somewhat hard and dispointingly a challenge. I'm not telling that we should let anyone enter in our lives and do whatever they want as we simply watch and do nothing, but i think that some respect on the foreign/ native people will not hurt. The question is: Did you ever deal/witness a case of xenophobia? If yes, do you mind telling how it was? Did you ever been xenophobic? If yes, how did you change that?
