What about their cusine and foods, diversity?

That is already present and of adequate length under Culture / Cuisine. Fbergo (talk) 11:35, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Brazil has a vast diversity, in the Northern and Northeastern regions of Brazil, there are more African Americans than in the south. In the Central region, which houses São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, there is a mix of everything. In the Southern region it is more common to see blonde and blue eyed people, since they have European descent. As a southerner myself, I am not blonde or blue eyed, but I have lots of European descent from countries like Austria and Italy. Biazbettega (talk) 22:35, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Grammatical error in Demographics

"Outside in the Arab world, Brazil also has the largest population of Arab ancestry in the world, with 15–20 million people." should be "Outside of the Arab world, Brazil also has the largest population of Arab ancestry in the world, with 15–20 million people."

I'd edit it myself but I don't have access yet. Bearfrost (talk) 18:28, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Population

The current size of population in Brazil is about 205 million people, based on the recent population census. The earlier estimate of 212 million people is no longer valid. Corrections needed! 91.65.109.170 (talk) 07:49, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The Brazilian media lies and omits data.

"Want to know the truth? Come here and I’ll tell you: Let’s start with the basics: Brazil’s GDP. The real situation about this indicator is often omitted, and the data provided by the Central Bank is not legitimate. There is also manipulation of the information, which results in abusive pricing in bilateral relations. The data presented is inconsistent with the actual costs of imports and labor, and it doesn’t accurately reflect what is spent to set the final price of products. Another major issue is the lack of transparency regarding the base prices of our products and natural resources. Our regulatory agency only allows us to know the base price of the pharmaceutical industry. We have no access to the real prices in other sectors. As a result, the concept of "suggested retail price" was created on product labels, a value that is often not followed by any establishment. Additionally, there is no actual regulatory body that defines and monitors the true prices of these products." VecJoga (talk) 01:21, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@VecJoga Have any reliable sources to back that up? GiftedWithThought (talk) 04:24, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
