he..looks..sexier...in..b@w..!!!!!

I think he´s absolutely perfect!

O.K, this is totally off topic but I'm intrigued ...

My fellow Brazilians ... Having been born & raised in Sao Paulo my Dads job moved us to London when I was a teenager, in the UK & Europe in general the term 'latino' doesn't exist & those of Spanish/Portuguese descent are just caucasian like the British, German, French etc... therefore I've always thought of myself as caucasian due to my European ancestry ... Anyway, last nite I was at a friends in NYC & there was a Mexican couple who argued [aggressively!] that I certainly wasn't 'caucasian' & I was 'latino' ... I put my case forward to them stating that the term 'latino' doesn't really exist outside the US & in Europe if you're Spanish/Portuguese you're just considered caucasian but they would not listen to me! Most of my friends & family would consider themselves Caucasian & would be unlikely to use the term 'latino' so I was just interested what other European descended Brazilians class themselves as so as next time I run into either of the above mentioned Mexicans I can give them a good beat down! Sorry for going off topic but I know lots of Brazilians read this site! Thoughts? Thanks

OMFG!

I can never get enough of this guy...he's the ultimate perfection!!!

re: Henri

I'm not Brazilian, but it's about how you self-identify, not about what other people think. And that Mexican couple needs to get out more....

latino is a state of mind, not color of skin. and in my opinion you should be proud of being latino, not fight it.

Also re Henri: Well you said it yourself, Latino is a term that exists in the U.S. and it has been identified mostly with Spanish-speakers although in American English, it is understood to include all people from Latin America, a distinct and finite part of the world. Brazil is considered to be in Latin America. Brazil just like Venezuela, Peru etc are former colonies of countries where Latin-derived languages are spoken. Thus Latin America and thus Latino. Before the term Latino was created, the term Hispanic was widely used but not to determine race but rather ethnicity and also culture. Latino came along to be more inclusive of those who were from Latin America but not necesarily from Hispanic or former Spanish colonies. More importantly it came to represent the unique cultural identities that came about in Latin America that many times were a blend of European, Indigenous and African cultures. So in American English someone who calls himself Brazilian is from Latin America and thus can be called Latino. Someone made the comment that you should be proud of being Latino and not fight it and I thought that it was interesting because it seems that most people who can find a loophole for not considering themselves a Latino will often strive to identify themselves differently. I think I understand why but I prefer to leave it to the individual to think about.
Caucasian, on the other hand, is a term used for race. Race is a whole other ballgame. I won't even go there. There was an article done in Veja about race and genetics and some prominent black Brazilians had their genes analyzed and the mixture was prominent, surprisingly varied and not at all what most people might have expected. I expect the same applies to many if not most Brazilians.

i wish i could destroy his perfect booty

Interesting Jujie ... I'm not against being called Latino but I'd consider myself white [like most Brazilians I know!] & the couple last nite were outraged that I would call myself white when I'm apparently 'latino' ... I thought I could be both! ... The main thing I was trying to explain to them was that in Europe, Spanish & Portuguese are considered white/caucasian like all other European countries which they were appalled by ... I guess they do need to get out more & I guess I'll just be half Italian, half Spanish, Brazilian born & people can decide themselves! ... But like someone mentioned, I think perhaps 'latino' is more a state of mind than anything else ... Thanks.

Most Brazilians are a racial mixture. The problem is that in the US, people who have 0.00001% of african genes and 99.99999% of caucasian genes are considered BLACK. That makes things very complicated, because a person that is white as snow can be considered black....which does not make any sense!
I am in that category. I am whiter than most caucasians, but I am sure that there is some percentage of black and indian genes in me. So, am I black, or am I white?

Tell me!

I live in Phoenix, AZ, and have fun here with the latino/caucasian thing because both sides tend to act as if it were a racial difference and not ethnic. I tell them that there are only three races and are they saying they are part of the other two. That's when the stupider ones get really entertaining...

there aren't three races, or two, or eleven.
thre is only one race, and it's not black, nor white nor asian, my fella, it's called HUMAN.
HUMAN RACE. we're the same. stop bothering and classifying. just enjoy.

What an incredibly handsome young man. He radiates charm!

Ok, when are you and Edilson getting married?

Only in the US people get so "interested" in ethinc backgrounds, discussions about race, etc. Who cares??!! I agree with Guri, the wise one: "there is only one race." I never thought about any of this until I moved to the US. I finally decided to just tell people I was a black latino, because my dad is black and my mom is white. But this would still confuse some people, who thought I couldn't be black because of my fair complexion. One summer, after returning from a month at the beach in Rio, I was very, very tan and someone actually said to me: "Wow, so you really are a black man." I just couldn't believe it!! I find it funny that some gay men (in the US) even use the term "blatino" (for black and latino). As I said earlier, WHO CARES??!!

Well said!

This is the design God had in mind when he created the first man.

to HENRY:
This is very controversial, but like me, I'm half japanese, half italian, but born in Brazil. Sooo, I'm latino here in USA.
I just think that the people here still very racist, you don't see white married black or latin as often as other countries.
Basicly, if you not white you not american. There's label for everyone in this country, for the way you talk, look or act. I'm not saying that people treat people with racism here, but deep inside they do.

he's so hot

Ok, posters, (I'd assume guys...), the guy digressed with his timely query and received some salient and interesting responses. As a "man of color" (African American), I found all of these responses to be quite, quite interesting indeed!

Now, por favor, let all of us get back to discussing this gorgeous white Brazilian who's featured here!!

The poster who digressed and went off topic proposed a quite interesting and timely discussion to say the least, but please fellows, get back to the topic at hand.

Share your ideas about the gorgeous white Brazilian who's featured here! (I like all "hot" men irrespective of their cultural or racial attributes!)
