Trivia

• In several of its appearances, Brazil is described in a stereotyped way. Examples of these errors include a Spanish-speaking country, characters with Hispanic first and last names, a government based on generic Latin American socialists^[7] and even Dia de Los Muertos, which is a Mexican holiday^[8] (although, as in most Catholic countries, Day of the Dead exists as a day of mourning). Fortunately, more care has been taken to avoid these erroneous stereotypes in recent years.
