Is Racial Discrimination an Issue in Sao Paulo? |
Despite the fact that Sao Paulo is a multi-cultural city, with European account for more than 50% of its population, I wonder if discrimination against coloured people (black or Asian or aboriginal) exists in that society? Is it safe for foreign tourists to travel around the city? Are they subject to hate crimes? |

Rest reassured that racial discrimination is NOT an issue at all in Sao Paulo.
When you come here, you'll be surprised to find one of the biggest asian communities outside Asia.
Chinese, Korean and Japanese immigrants are so well integrated within Sao Paulo's society that being of Asian origin here is almost a guarantee of being unnoticed.
The same goes for Black and for other South American countries immigrants.
Believe me: hate crimes may be erased from your Sao Paulo's "things to worry about" list.
If you want any specific hints, I'd be very pleased to help you, just drop me a line. |

Racial discrimination is not an issue only in Sao Paulo, it's all over the world, unfortunately. Tourist who don't speak the language must be really careful. You can be robbed or even kidnapped. The best hing to do is travel with more people, who at least can speak Spanish (the official language there is Portuguese but Spanish works too). Hope this will help you. Have a safe trip. |

Actually, mostly there aren't explicit discrimination, but the racial discrimination (especially with black or "mixed" people) does exist in some parts of Sao Paulo, a soft discrimination, sometimes disregarded. That is what i think, but i can be wrong. |

No hate crimes. No visible discrimination against Blacks, Asians or Aboriginal.
When visiting try not call attention to yourself. Keep a low profile, dress like locals do and, if possible, try learning a bit of Brazilian Portuguese.
Peace. |
