Shocked, he laughed and said, “I totally thought you were Brazilian.” He wouldn’t be the first to make the assumption. After listening to his tired pick up line in American-accented Portuguese, I cut him off and bluntly asked him in English where he was from. His White European friends dared him to go and talk to that Black Brazilian girl sitting on the beach, who was really a Black American girl in disguise. Just two kids from Jersey traveling abroad who happened to bump into each other by stereotypical mistake. Share on Twitter Share on Facebook Share on Pinterest Share on LinkedIn Share on Email
