Brazilians target you based on whiteness and perceived affluence...nigger blood runs thick in their veins. A Saudi guy I met here in KL greatly enjoyed his time in Brazil, said it was his all-time favorite country. Carnival in Rio was the #1 experience of his life, from what he said. Being a middle-aged baldcel brownoid, he was never targeted by criminals there. He even learned Portuguese there from his "horizontal teacher"...she helped him learn a few words every day, and before he knew it, he was completely conversant.
