Yeah, my experience has been that a lot of countries whose residents tell me racism is an American problem and we should stop trying to project it onto other societies happen to live in countries with huge problems with it that just aren't explicitly spoken about in the same terms.
I had a Brazilian friend tell me race is not all that important in Brazil and that he's tired of Americans assuming it is. I periodically have to ask him, "Do you read Brazilian news, bro?" and send some links that make it blatantly obvious that racism is alive and well down there.
You also just get people who have bought into very pervasive attitudes in countries that justify/explain away racism when it's encountered.
Brazilian acts like they don't have the same slaver history as US... They must really assume Americans are this fucking stupid not to k ow basics of how Brazil functions
TBF most Americans are pretty ignorant about the rest of the world (and it's not really their fault, the other self-contained superpower is the same or worse). Not all though.
Are you sure this person is Brazilian? This is the country that abolished chattel slavery in 1888, a couple decades after America. They still have whiteness as a standard of attractiveness there, too.
