      I think the thumbnail and title aren’t as catchy for as large as an audience. Sometimes a video being good doesn’t mean people are likely to find it or click on it.

    Sorry for the Ski Station 😅 Some touristics attractions in Brazil are such a scam 😂 I live in a “touristic city” Campos do Jordão/SP, and there is a lot of those scams touristics attractions like this ski station you was. I highly recommend you to spend your money with restaurants and nature expeditions, the ecotourism in Brazil is very good.

      Thanks mate, and yeah it was definitely an experience I'll never forget even more so because of the flooding and landslides. I mainly went there to film Italian culture stuff for a video on that, hope I can get that one done relatively soon

    The sad is that new generations (Like me) just speak Portuguese and English, fathers aren’t passing their source language.
    When my dad was young, he spoke German, but now forgot. Recently he went to Germany and he can’t even understood anything anymore. My grandmother (Emigrant’s children) still speak something.

      I know, it's a complicated situation even in an ideal situation you can't expect every level of society to speak that many languages but there are revivals in many parts of the world and I know some people try such in Brazil as well

    I’m from Rio Grande do Sul and Italian background, my family went to Brazil early 1900’s, there’s a large community of Italians in south of Brazil.

      Hahahahhaha dude I’ve been sending my friends memes on that I’ve been seeing in my feed. I think you’re probably right actually. Though I visited Chile including the south and there everything is made of just one layer of plywood or corrugated steel sheets. Bloody hell every video I see of someone in Chile 🇨🇱 it makes me feel cold again

      Hahahahha yeah a friend made me read it. So I gave the stupid Luddite a chance and it did end up having some insightful things which I hadn’t expected.
      But I’ve been waiting for someone to notice it you’re the first to mention it. I remember asking my friend rather he thought I should keep it in.

    Repostar o vídeo com uma nova legenda para tentar viralizar não seria uma opção?

    • @LewisWirth
      @LewisWirth  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Eu poderia apenas mudar a legenda. Tentei mudar algumas vezes, mas não mudou muito. Você tem alguma sugestão? Lembre-se de que apenas os primeiros 50 caracteres são visíveis em certos dispositivos e seria em inglês

    Actually, there are no German towns in Brazil. However, some towns were founded by Germans during the immigration period, which was encouraged by the central government with the aim of 'whitening' the Brazilian population. Although these towns were founded by Germans, the majority of the population is now deeply integrated into Brazilian culture. However, some of the architecture and traditions are replicated and serve as tourist attractions. To this day, these areas have some of the highest levels of racism in Brazil

      That’s so sad they is still racism in such a beautiful country. I moved to California in 2000. And I visit family in Salvador. I don’t have family in the south of Brazil. Also I thought racism is illegal?

    • @aliceazevedo-7455
      @aliceazevedo-7455 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @raffiboi22 In Brazil racism is illegal and anyone with racist reports can be jailed. Major number of racism reports come from Southern Brazil unfortunately.

      What nonsense, these towns are still populated by a significant percentage of people of german descent, not only that but most still speak german with their families and promote german cultural events with others in the community frequently. Of course they have assimilated over the decades and speak portuguese as well, they've been living in Brazil for generations now, but to dismiss them and their towns as mere "tourist attractions" feels quite ignorant. The term german-brazilians seems more accurate to represent both ethnic ancestry and current nation, like german-americans for their U.S. counterparts and so on.

    • @aliceazevedo-7455

      @@humanitas94 First, to label these communities as simply "German-Brazilian" or "German-American" without recognizing their extensive history of integration into Brazilian society risks oversimplifying their identity. Over the course of generations, these communities have interacted with the broader Brazilian culture, and in many cases, their lives and social structures are fundamentally Brazilian. In fact, many younger generations may not speak German fluently, or they might feel more connected to Brazil culturally, politically, and socially than to Germany. Language retention or cultural events don’t always equate to the maintenance of a separate ethnic identity, especially when a culture evolves and adapts in a new context.
      Furthermore, comparing these communities to "German-Americans" is not entirely accurate. German immigration to Brazil occurred at different times and under distinct historical circumstances compared to German immigration to the United States. In Brazil, German-Brazilian communities were often more isolated and faced a more complicated process of integration due to political and social challenges, including widespread anti-German sentiment during both World Wars. Today, Brazilian society is far more inclusive and diverse, with German-Brazilians generally assimilating into the national identity in a much more fluid manner than the "German-American" experience, which historically placed a stronger emphasis on maintaining a distinct ethnic identity. As Brazilians, we understand that many of these towns are, to a large extent, primarily "tourist destinations," and most of the architecture there is "fake", designed with tourism in mind and not made by German settlers.
      Finally, as you mention that they have assimilated by speaking Portuguese, this assimilation goes beyond just language. It extends to values, traditions, and national allegiance. Ethnic and national identities are not static, and it is important to recognize that the predominance of Brazilian culture has fully integrated these immigrants. Their identity is, first and foremost, "Brazilian."
