But it was closed off at kickoff and was "no longer accepting bets"
And when I paid out @Icantspell had already snuck 2 big bets in there.

brazilian government engineered this quasi astroturf social movement a while back where people were "brazilian" instead of black, white, etc. a lotta folk still subscribe to that today, which in a way is a good thing, they have a national identity stronger than in the US, but it also gives people a seemingly legit reason to quash racial discussions, which is obviously bad
ironically enough, if white america had been more inclusive of darker skinned people born here, they'd be able to do the same.
it's also that many brazilians have black, white, asian, brown ancestry all mixed up (which is also partly due to government encouragement
). in general portuguese colonization is a tale of race-mixing, while english colonies didn't get down like that. the lines are more clear cut in the former anglophone colonieswhen portugal was still in angola and mozambique in the 70s, long after most of europe had left africa, the dictator Salazar was claiming he didnt have to leave because angolans and Mozambicans were portuguese, as evident by the fact that portuguese men were knocking up african women

Wonder if any Portuguese colonialists exploited the blending of peoples in Brazil like Salazar exploited Mozambique and Angola?
Thanks for dropping the knowledge
The Portuguese never had enough numbers to control the colonies even though they were recorded to have made first contact with Africans in large portions of Southern Africa. Some of the offspring of Portuguese men and Africans were accorded higher stature in society and also land ownership especially in Mozambique were they termed them prazos. There was some limited form of race mixing in English colonies and the offspring designated coloureds were not given as much political power as mixed race or what they called assimilados in Portuguese colonies. In Angola it lead to a situation were anti-colonialist movements fractured on racial and ethic lines, the mestizos and assimilated blacks backed by Portuguese leftists won power from Savimbi and his Africanist. Its not suprising to find black Angolans who do not speak an African language because they were deemed to have been fully assimilated and i think they also carry Portuguese last names for the most part.brazilian government engineered this quasi astroturf social movement a while back where people were "brazilian" instead of black, white, etc. a lotta folk still subscribe to that today, which in a way is a good thing, they have a national identity stronger than in the US, but it also gives people a seemingly legit reason to quash racial discussions, which is obviously bad

There's still gotta be some tensions between the countries though? I remember a friendly between Angola and Portugal was pretty heated, and there was fear that the 2006 World Cup group stage game would go the same route. Or was that an unrelated occurrence?

if he's a mod maybe open the bet , shift time, put bet in, close it again. at least that was done in the old forum style.
