See? It's official.
Brazil has now been properly sanitized to the level of a seven year old. She only cried a little! It's safe for the white people of the first world to COME ON DOWN! Wee!
Let the games begin!  http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8515791.stm

Blaming that ordeal on anybody but Brazilians is deflection at best. They're under pressure to clean up for their olympic bid, yes, but putting a 7-year-old in that role was their mistake.

They're certainly under pressure, I'm not taking anything away from that. However, they made a bad call. The Chinese government initiated several "clean our city" acts that drew global scrutiny during their preparation to host the Olympics. I don't recall anybody holding "western pressure" accountable over the government then, and I don't agree with it in this case.
There had to be someone in RdJ government that knew this was a bad idea. Hopefully more than just one person. And it was on them to step forward and do the right thing. |

Ok, I do realize that the role is traditionally sexual...
However, its a girl dancing. She's not nude, she's not performing sex acts, she's dancing, wearing more than she would be if she were at the beach swimming. I hardly understand and outrage.

What do you care, Avatard? Carnival is a white christian holiday that we forced on the brazilians, you should be rejecting it...

Carnival was a Pagan holiday, adapted by Christians in a tragic attempt to appear hip. JC

I can't find a substantial reference to predate the exact history. The adaptation worked pretty well because it still is an official catholic holiday period along with Mardi Gras. They made it a significant event all over the globe where even other cultures also adapted to their own.
