Q: Why Chinese say 'All Brazilians are cheaters'?

Talking to a Chinese girl who think is interest in Brazilian guy. He is very nice, good man. A good friend. I talk to the girl and I think she likes him, or is interest. But she do nothing. So I ask her. At first she hesitate a lot, but finally she admit that the reputation of Brazilians is bad in China. That Brazilian men have reputation as cheaters, only think sex. That if she has relationship with him, she would be scare he cheat on her, that she no trust him. And maybe friends of her also tell her thsi, or say rumors.

 

This is first time she get to know Brazilians. How can people judge a whole country like this? And its very insulting. Like also saying my dad is a cheater to my mother. Terrible. How people dont realize they can insult someone so direct. And where this idea come from? From Chinese news?

You can trust me when I say that the Chinese have something bad to say about every country but China, and most of it has nothing to do with reality. Brazil gets extra attention because China is trying to paint itself as the oppressed and bullied glorious leader of BRICS so this big trade alliance doesn't undermine their 'everyone hates us and we stand alone' propaganda.

 

'That Brazilian men have reputation as cheaters, only think sex. That if she has relationship with him, she would be scare he cheat on her, that she no trust him... Like also saying my dad is a cheater to my mother.'

 

They genuinely say this stuff about anyone who's not Chinese. I'm from Canada and I get the exact same like about Canadians. They said it about my family, even after my family was nothing but kind to my Chinese in-laws (and emptied their pockets making them cozy), but the in-laws rant and lecture all the time about how all foreigners are sex-crazy China-haters.

 

Take it with a grain of salt. Have you ever worked in a middle school or high school here? Those kids spend most of their 14 hours, six days a week (plus five hours on Sunday) learning about how the entire world is out to destroy China, and how only being blindly hateful, and blindly trusting the Party (the most Chinese and perfect government to have ever existed), will save 5000 year history superior culture. All but the most absolutely clever are brainwashed so hard, their grey matter is scrubbed right out of their heads.

 

Anyway, I love Brazil, and most sensible non-Chinese know it's a very deverse, complex country that generates all kinds of interesting stuff.

I'm so sorry to hear that, I'm Chinese and  I guarantee you I've never heard that reputation about Brazilian men.

 

Here's how I think of men from other countries.

Brazilian are very enthusiasm, American are adventurous, Canadian are gentleman,

French and Italian are romantic, Japanese are just so polite.

 

Don't let it get to you, anyone who  judges  the entire country like that are STUPID.

This might be sort of a stereotype. Just because you may have heard it from some chinese people it doesn't mean that the billion population will say that about Brazilians.

Bonita, you are not a typical Chinese person and it's refreshing to even hear you say the Japanese are polite. and as much as I usually find khur a little off, he's really hit the nail on the head with his post.

 

Maybe it's just the thought of everyone owes something to China, not sure, don't care, as long as I make my money I'm all good

The Latin culture condones cheating and lying.  Brazil is no exception.

crimochina:

chinese culture does not condone cheating and lieing. (lieing cheating scamming proves how smart you are) the truth is "latin" culture does not condone lieing and cheating. it is a very open culture (which confuses the hell out of chinese people) which means you dont have to lie cheat or scam to get what you want

quellest,

 

"That Brazilian men have reputation as cheaters, only think sex."

 

Last year i worked with many brazilians, I heard it from brazilians girls, they says: Brazilian mans are bad and they need only sex, it's hard to find good brazilian man.

 

I know many brazilian and many of them want only sex, but which Mans are don't want!!?? hahahah, so funny

 

Everywhere ppl just talking about, for example in each country ppl say that russians-alhogolists!!!  

 

don't listen that ppl talking about! 

 

I love brazilian ppl, i love this country, wish i can go there soon))

crimochina:

chinese women complain about chinese men, american women complain about american men and it goes on and on. if you dont have that right one , you complain until you get the right one.

The Brazilian guy probably isn't going to walk down the road to marriage. Maybe the reasoning isn't so good but I found that Chinese women don't want to do "dating" in the way that foreigners seem to.

 

 

crimochina:

yes, all foreigners are the exact same because all foreigners come from the same cultural background

  People project the truth of themselves onto others, so anyone who's told you they think Brazilians are cheaters, is probably a cheater themself.

Im on the fence... I have spent months in different areas of Latin America (* never Brazil,should be noted), and I would have to say that Latin people are by far the most sexually open people I have ever encountered. Maybe I am a prude but it was shocking.

 

On the other hand, I work with a Brazilian man in my company, and he seems to be the complete opposite. Hes married and his wife is here with him in China. I have never once heard him talk about doing the creepy stuff normally seen here, or seen anything to make be believe he is anything but completely loyal.

 

I think theres a cultural misunderstanding between Chinese and foreigners. From my experience,  it seems that while foreigners seem to be alittle more sexually open when they are single and looking, they tend to be more...... loyal once they have found a partner.  While Chinese seem to be the opposite.  Chinese maybe are a little bit closed off untill they find a partner... they are with that partner for a long time to ever, but dont seem to have a problem finding things on the side. I have never seen so many people cheat as I have in China, both men and women.

 

This is also a generalization people, I am aware that not everyone is the same. But anytime your talking about cultures and habits of entire countries, there will be stereotypes

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
