[edit] Talk

There are various different ethnic groups among Brazilians in the first place, so i'm not sure how much sense the term "Brazilian American" makes.

For example, many Brazilians are of Portuguese descent (Portuguese Brazilians).

This is not about ethnic groups, but nationalities. -- 201.69.181.201 08:51, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Huh?

How can there be over a hundred million Brazilians be in the U.S.? That would be more than a third of the population.

[edit] Source?

It says there are 800,000 Brazilian Americans. I tried to find a source, but found no mention of it anywhere else. The Census Bureau does have the figure of 181,000 from the 2000 Census.[1] SamEV (talk) 08:54, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

And of 346,000 from the 2006 ACS[2]. SamEV (talk) 19:54, 28 January 2008 (UTC)


Slightly off topic, it is interesting to note that North-American emigration to Brazil also happened in the XIX century: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americana%2C_S%C3%A3o_Paulo —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.214.79.173 (talk) 02:19, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
