Portuguese woman complaining that Brazilians (or, as she claims "this shitty race") are "invading Portugal". It would be comic if it wasn't tragic.

[Marcela Magalhães @MagaMarcela1]

E ainda dizem que o discurso da extrema-direita em Portugal fica só na retórica xenófoba de palanques:

Realidade:
“Sou Portuguesa de raça! Você que é brasileira: volta pra sua terra! Estão invadindo Portugal essa raça de filhas da puta!”

Complements for each answer:
"very guilty - everyone is working but me!!"
"kind of guilty - I should be doing what everyone else is doing"
"not at all - my free time is my leisure time"
"Not working? What's that? - I didn't know people didn't work on weekends"

I’m sorry all, but I have the best Master’s student ever, who brought me banana muffins today 😍🥰

Just to be clear: the problem is absolutely NOT about asking us to keep down. It’s the fact that before anything he asked us where we are from, immediately followed by “could you please keep down?” - why does it matter where we are from??

[Gabriela Lunardi @gabimlu]

It must be the 4th or 5th time that this happens to me since I started to live in a “developed country”. The 4th or 5th time that a stranger comes to me asking “where are you from?” followed by “you’re being too loud”. (+)

[Gabriela Lunardi @gabimlu]

And all the times that this has happened the feeling is the same: I’m feeling super happy and suddenly I’m reminded that I’m unwelcome, that it does’t matter if I have an aus passport, I just don’t belong here, I shouldn’t be like I am if I want to be here. I’m just tired.

Studying the content on Race & Digital Media for this week’s lecture and the automatic feeling of race crisis in being extremely white in Brazil and not being white at all in Australia, at the same time that I move through Brazilian and Australia contexts daily 🫠

[Gabriela Lunardi @gabimlu]

Brazilians (or non-English speakers) need to stop saying "sorry" when we don't understand/know how to say something in English. You should rather say "thank you for repeating/understanding me". We shouldn't feel guilty for not perfectly speaking/understanding English
