Rant #1: Ethnic groups
Today I had to fill out a form and it asked me whether I'm white, black, asian or native american. Although I look like most Italo-Portuguese people (there are loads of them in Brazil) I've got ancestors from all these ethnic groups, but my wrath is not because I can't answer "What am I?" but because it doesn't bloody matter what I am. What different would it make if my ancestors came from Mars?! Would I be less responsible for this? If I had a lighter skin colour, would I be able to breath underwater? Even if I was born in another country, it's what's inside that counts! 
Rant #2: Brazilian artistic stereotypes
It's a Rio de Janeiro + Salvador thing. For some reason, they need to tell everybody that Brazil where sex is easy, crime is everywhere and samba is the only kind of music we have here. My country is a lot more than that! We've got far more interesting things in Southern Brazil and in the country, why the heck do they need to fall in these stereotypes?! Of course, criminality is a problem in some cities (such as Rio itself) but the TV already talks about it every now and then and all gringos know how dangerous Rio can be (even "The Simpsons" showed it). This is why I hate Cidade de Deus from deep inside my heart. There are books about it since 1910, there are several films about it and I've already watched a couple of them (even though TV shows this sort of stuff every bloody day). Why don't they show the rest of the country!?
