Brazilians are the coolest in the world, CNN research reveals

According to the survey, among the things most praised by foreigners are football, the Rio de Janeiro Carnival and the tiny bikinis


Who are the coolest people in the world? The question is difficult, even if we consider that there are almost 200 countries around the world. One thing, however, is certain: Brazilians are always welcome everywhere, just as foreigners who come to visit us often return home with good stories about how they were welcomed here.

Of course, in recent years, Brazilians' self-esteem is lower than usual due to urban violence and the many political scandals revealed to the world, especially those discovered by Operation Lava Jato.

However, a survey by the US television network CNN around the world reveals that most of the interviewees consider the population of Brazil as the coolest on the planet.

According to the survey, among the cool things that Brazil "exports" to the world are samba, Rio de Janeiro Carnival, Pelé football and Ronaldo Fenômeno, the tiny bikinis that parade through the 7,4 thousand kilometers of beaches . The gringos also praise waxing.


Among the high points cited about Brazil, the research highlights music - especially the singer of MPB Seu Jorge, who in 2005 released an album in honor of the North American star David Bowie, who died last year. The survey highlights the quality of meats and cacao in Brazil, but criticizes the excessive deforestation in the country.

Other peoples

Behind Brazil, CNN's survey places Singapore's population as the second-coolest in the world, followed by the people of Jamaica. Next are Mongols, Americans, South Koreans, Spaniards, Japanese, among others. For those who like to nurture the Latin American rivalry, it is worth noting: the Argentines are off this list.

The Brazilians are, in fact, kind and hospitable. However, certainly a good part of the population here has the desire that, in the not too distant future, Brazil be remembered not only for the foliage, but also for being a safe and good place to live, and for politics to cease to be The scandals worthy of film scripts.
