Why are we focusing on Brazil? <\/h2>\n<p>Brazil can be considered a model for peaceful coexistence. Euclides da Cunha&#8217;s claim that there is no &#8220;Brazilian race&#8221; (Nao h\u00e1 um tipo antrop\u00f3logico brasileiro) is still valid today. The Brazilian nation was founded on a free, unconstrained mixture of all ethnicities. Over the centuries, a mixture evolved between indigenous South Americans, Portuguese, black slaves brought from Africa, and immigrants from Italy, France and Germany. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/encounters-magazine.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2013\/06\/Wagner_4.jpg\" alt=\"Wagner_4\" width=\"507\" height=\"380\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-260\" srcset=\"http:\/\/encounters-magazine.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2013\/06\/Wagner_4.jpg 507w, http:\/\/encounters-magazine.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2013\/06\/Wagner_4-300x224.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 507px) 100vw, 507px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Jesuits played a significant role in this ethnic mixing. In the early years, they regarded the country as an opportunity to build a new society, without class divisions or slavery. Unlike in the Spanish Church, children of Portuguese colonialists, indigenous natives, and slaves were regarded from the very beginning as equal in the eyes of God. This still has a positive effect today. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/encounters-magazine.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2013\/06\/Wagner_5.jpg\" alt=\"Wagner_5\" width=\"507\" height=\"380\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-261\" srcset=\"http:\/\/encounters-magazine.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2013\/06\/Wagner_5.jpg 507w, http:\/\/encounters-magazine.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2013\/06\/Wagner_5-300x224.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 507px) 100vw, 507px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Like everywhere else in the world, there is crime in Brazil. But this is mainly poverty-driven. Crimes in Brazil are never committed out of abstract hatred against other races, religions, social classes, or ways of life. The country has no significant ethnic or religious problems, and never experiences the insanity of suicide bombings and mass shootings. The Brazilian language doesn&#8217;t even have equivalents for common expletives used in other languages to belittle different ethnicities. Instead, more caring, descriptive words are used for the population&#8217;s range of skin tones (&#8220;caf\u00e9 com leite,&#8221; &#8220;leite com caf\u00e9&#8221;). These expressions are spoken without a hint of contempt.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/encounters-magazine.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2013\/06\/Wagner_6.jpg\" alt=\"Wagner_6\" width=\"507\" height=\"676\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-268\" srcset=\"http:\/\/encounters-magazine.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2013\/06\/Wagner_6.jpg 507w, http:\/\/encounters-magazine.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2013\/06\/Wagner_6-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 507px) 100vw, 507px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Brazilian society serves as an exemplary model for other countries, where racial, class and religious prejudices are still firmly in place.
