I've been reading a bunch of those scholarly books that talk about the cultural implications of everything Disney, blah blah etc. One author said that when she interviewed CMs they seemed to often complain about rude Brazilians, and she figured that there was no way that all these annoying people were really from Brazil - the CMs must have just started using this as a way to lump together the bad apples. So I find it very interesting to see this run of posts about Brazilians behaving badly. Maybe it really is true!
