Coisas do Brasil..
I guess in no other country in the world would Cintra be able to launch a beer brand called"Mulata".
Raises the question of racism and at the same time the media declaring constantly how proud this country is of "A Cor do Brasil", a mulata, only with sexual conotation.
"Quero uma mulata bem gostosinha e geladinha" you will hear in the bars soon from now.... And worse, Brazilian women will feel flattered about it. Don´t you forget, Mulato is not only applied to people of mixed races. It comes from the Latin derivative of Mule, which is half-horse and half-donkey. In other countries half casts feel offended to be called Mulato.
It`s awesome!
See you.

Look again with the over sensitivity. Let me do you a favor here. First of all you accept that horses, donkeys and mules are not nobel animals. They are. If I were to have some tint ( believe me ...I could use it living in Brazil ) I would be proud to be called mulato. I guess I am just so damned egotistical that no matter what I was or the name put on it I would be proud and if its put on a beer label all the better. Free advertising.....what is the type of music you listen to?...do not remember the name now but its the one with CHOREI root word included!!!....Find the positive and people will follow. Or maybe race baiting is lucretive. Even if I could I would not. My condolences for your self induced suffering.
