Talk:European immigration to Brazil

Untitled
I am creating this page because it needs a separate discussion, as the intended "whitening" of the Brazilian population is often cited as a cause for immigration, but naturally it can only be related to White immigrants, who were, for the most part, European. Also, it is necessary to discuss these people in this article, disentangling them from White Brazilian and avoiding the self-contradictory notion of "European Brazilian".

 * "It has been suggested that this article or section be merged into White Brazilian."


 * Two obvious objections:


 * Not all White Brazilians have anything to do with European immigration, or any immigration for what is worth (most descend from colonial settlers, not immigrants, and some descend from non-European White immigrants); and
 * Not all European immigration to Brazil resulted in White Brazilians - some of those European immigrants mated with local non-White people, resulting in non-White Brazilians who have European immigrant ancestors.


 * In all, again a conflation between different things - "race", "ethnicity", national (or, in this case, continental) origin, etc. Particularly, the popular misconception that White=European. That should be carefully avoided. Ninguém (talk) 14:54, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
