White Woman Tries R@c!sm In BRAZIL Thinking she'd Be worshipped - Now Facing up 5 years in prison
Added:Not me just finding out it is illegal to be racist in Brazil. So this is Austinina Perez. Austinina got into a confrontation with an employee at a restaurant and guess what? Augustina decided to make monkey noises.
And they got her ass.
>> This Augustina Perez went in Brazil like in a vacation. This is a Argentina woman, a lawyer. She had problem with this restaurant employee. She thought that because she's in Brazil, she's going to to show racism, try to to scream in different ways, call them different names. She never knew that Brazil doesn't tolerate sh things of racism. Now she's facing a jail time.
People are trying to come out to say, "Wow, see the karma." Because you in Brazil, each and everyone should watch Ping you. You never knew that you were in a foreigner. Guys, let's dive into today's episode. Drop your thought in the comment section. We'll come back with more commentaries. Did y'all know that racism was a crime in Brazil? Like a serious crime like you might get up to 5 years in prison. Baby, what Miss Da say? I'm on the way there, baby. Send me to Brazil. Okay. Now, I don't normally talk about crimes in other countries and other stuff like that because it be a lot. We already have enough going on here. But this piqued my interest, so I had to bring it to you. Agassina PZ, I think that's how you say her name. If it's wrong, please forgive me. She was in Brazil on vacation. Now, she is from Argentina, but she was in Brazil, and she was in Brazil on January the 14th.
Now, okay, she was at a restaurant, and there was a dispute with the bill.
Instead of just having them fix the bill and then going about her merry way, when she let them know about the dispute about the bill, they said that she made some racist remarks like calling people monkeys, monkey sounds, things of that sort. Um, she made them feel very uncomfortable and it was very obvious to them that it was racism. Okay, it was to them. It was very obvious. So, them being of Brazil, they knew that, uh, ma'am, that's a crime. So, they call the police and let the police know. when the police come. Now, under normal circumstances in Brazil, they don't give you no bond and you got to wait until they make a decision on if you're guilty or not guilty and then the punishment for the crime is up to 5 years in prison for racism because they have a zero tolerance policy. Okay, again, I'm on the way there. A zero tolerance policy.
Her attorney habius corpus and they let her out on an ankle monitor and they was going to let her wait until trial.
Again, that's not normal, but the attorney that she, you know, she got a good legal team and she's attorney herself, I do believe, but her attorney was doing some attorney. Okay, we know how it live to see an attorney attorney, honey. And um they had got her out, but they decided to reverse that on Thursday. So, they done put her back in and said, "You going to have to wait.
You going to have to wait." It has caused a complete ruckus in Brazil and in Argentina because people in Brazil is like, "You need to know the law of the land when you in the land." Okay? you need to know what's going down here in Brazil when you come to Brazil. And people in Argentina are like, "But y'all got to know we don't do that over where we at." And I agree with them. Whatever the law of the land is, you need to know that law when you get to their dog on land. Okay. But um yeah, she's facing up to 5 years in prison when she all she had to do was just say, "Fix my dog on bill. They fix it and she going by her merry way." But instead of that, she decided to take below the bell and they said, "We know where hell is." and made that phone call to the authorities. But yeah, I might be on the way Brazil.
Somebody buy me a plane ticket so I can go go see what they got going on. I like that. Zero tolerance.
>> Augustina is from Argentina. I knew they wasn't playing with that girl because they slapped an ankle monitor on her and locked her down. She's not going anywhere. And now she is facing five years. And now she's on television trying to plead plead for amnesty. She's trying to plead plead to let her go home. Baby, can nobody help you now?
Because everywhere she goes now, they are doxing every single one of her locations and chasing her around the island. She says she can't believe she can't believe the reaction to this because in Argentina, the country is built off of being racist.
Literally, they genocided their entire black population. So being a racist is a normal thing in Argentina.
Big shout out to Brazil. Much love to Brazil. Good job. I hope America starts to follow your trend.
>> So, did you guys know that racism is illegal in Brazil and can actually get you arrested? Guys, I'm about to go over one of the biggest [ __ ] around and find out stories that you might have heard in the travel space in a while. But basically, this uh 29-year-old female from Argentina named Augustina PZ was visiting Rio de Janeiro in January. She was at a bar with friends and I guess they were drinking, having a good old time. The tab came by. She was in disagreement with the amount. I guess she was being charged. A dispute ended up happening. She exited the establishment and then proceeded to do monkey noises. Basically calling the staff monkeys, which is considered racism. And so she thought she was going to get away with it. Everything was going to be cool. She was going back to Argentina no problem. Psych. Brazil said, "Hell no, we ain't standing for that." and they got her ass, they arrested her and then on top of that they released her on an ankle bracelet and she has to remain in Brazil for the duration of time until they sentence her and she could be sentenced to 2 to 5 years of imprisonment. Okay? So, Brazil does not [ __ ] around when it comes to racism. Guys, make sure you're doing your research when you're going to a different country before you end up getting locked up for something stupid.
I know people that have been locked up for smoking cigarettes, smoking weed overseas. And I'm not even trying to say that racism is something you guys should be doing overseas. Like, obviously, learn to be a bit more open-minded and not be ignorant. I don't condone racism.
But in this case, this idiot didn't realize that racism is illegal in Brazil. She thought it was like Argentina where you could say and do whatever you want, but in Brazil, you can't do that. And they locked her ass up and she found out very quickly that you can't [ __ ] around in Brazil. So guys, I hope you enjoyed that story. Uh, and uh, make sure you do your research before you go to other countries, guys.
Simple as that.
>> This video is for all my black Americans fellows.
Do you guys know that in Brazil people don't play about racism? Do you know that Brazil is the large has the largest black population in South America?
Did you know that being racist in Brazil is considered a crime and that you can actually go to jail for it?
Exactly. That's how we That's how it should be everywhere.
Everywhere. What do you guys think? Let me know in the comments.
>> Brazil does not play about racism. I'm just seeing this story about Austinina.
Brazil is viral right now finally because it's a wonderful place, very popular because of carnival. But before you visit, you really should know this.
It is a crime to be racist there. It's also a crime to be homophobic and transphobic. It's very much not freedom of speech. They don't play about this there. It's jail, no bail. They're also passing a law against feminicide, meaning that if a man kills a woman, he spends life in prison. No parole, no getting out early, no good behavior, no making deals. That's not a thing.
Non-negotiable life in prison. I love that for them. The other thing is last week they also passed some pretty strict laws against animal abuse. And I love it for them because I mean the place is fun, the good food, the people are wonderful, and the laws actually work.
Look at that. You don't get to use your freedom of speech to just be an [ __ ] I think some countries should like write it down. Write it down. And anytime I tell people about this, people are always so shocked. Like, how dare they?
Like, what about my freedom of speech?
You don't get freedom of speech here either, babes. You don't get it. You don't have it. Like, do you see the president going after people for saying they don't like him?
>> Y'all, did you know you can get 5 years in prison in Brazil just for being racist? I didn't know. I just learned that today. I saw this story on my timeline and I decided to go down the rabbit hole. So this is Augustina PZ and she is an Argentina lawyer. See what happened? She was arguing with uh some employees about a bill and decided to do this.
>> Then this happened.
And Now she sounds like this.
She has been released, but she has to wear Inko monitor and she must now wait for the Brazilian judiciary to set a date for her trial. She could be sentenced up to 5 years in jail if found guilty. Oh, was it worth it? Was it worth it? The case is at the center of a growing legal conversation that is making headlines in Argentina and Brazil. With some argue that jail time is too harsh a punishment for a racist offense. Others have pointed out that it's the responsibility of Argentinian citizens abroad to know the law. In this case, Brazil's strict anti-racism legislation. The incident took place on January 14th. According to the complaint filed by the employees, she also used derogatory language as well as the gestures that we just saw in the previous video. Under the Brazilian law, racism and racial insults are treated as serious criminal offenses.
See, she's from Argentina, and the people in Argentina, boy, they could be [ __ ] racist as hell.
And they received no punishment. And then she decided to take her funky ass all the way to Brazil thinking she could do the same [ __ ] Oops.
I Oops. Oh my god. Was calling the employees monkeys worth it? I don't think so. And she's a lawyer, too.
[ __ ] that. Let me know your thoughts in the comments section. But, uh, I didn't know. I didn't know you can go to jail for five years in Brazil for that.
Learn something new each day. Now, imagine if they did that in this country. All them jail cells would be full. It's wild.
to all the black angles that comes to Brazil. I was wondering how racism is back home with you guys because I'm Brazilian and I'm black and Brazil is racist as [ __ ] Oh, it isn't. Oh, Brazil is not that racist. It is. It is because I'm black and I live here. I was born here, raised here and it is racist.
That's for you guys to come here and say that, oh, this place is amazing for black people. And you know, I was wondering how racist your place back home must be because I was like, if it's worse than here, man, I don't want to go there.
Brazil is an extremely racist country.
What you're describing is black Americans coming to Brazil and benefiting from being American. So when we are abroad, we benefit from having an American accent, American passport, and the American dollar. So our view what actual racism is in a country like Brazil, while we can see it exists, it's very skewed because we will never be treated like a black Brazilian in Brazil because of where we're staying, what we're spending money on, and they want our money. Racism is horrible in America, but I think it's a thing where you understand the social cues, the language, and the cultural things that would tell you what racism is or what a macro or microaggression is. In Brazil, when I lived there for the I lived there for 6 months, I was in Rio de Janeiro, S. Paulo, Balem, and and Manos. But my time in Rio de Janeiro was the most interesting one because that was the white kind of the whitest place I lived where it had white people, mixed people and black people. And I stayed in a place called Leblon which was very white, more of an upper middle class neighborhood. And I got looks every day leaving the apartment I was in. I was doing a study abroad. So I had school but I befriended this girl and I told her, "Hey, I want to go to where you hang out. I want to go to where you and your friends go." I also didn't want to be the American to like go toward the Favllas. That's not what I was doing.
But I went to where they partied and I had so much fun and I felt so much more at home with black Brazilians and we had a conversation around where I was living and they were like, "Yeah, we don't go there. Why would I ever go there?" And it made me realize I was living in the equivalent of the Upper East Side in New York City and I would never live in the Upper East Side in New York City. I think America and Brazil have a unique experience because two countries that have so many black people, but they are the black people that stayed in the country of their oppressor in a way where we're the minorities in both countries and the majority of those countries are white. I think I think what you're describing is something that Brazilians experience here cuz if you're Brazilian with a Brazilian accent and you're you're exotic in America, even though you'll still be black, right? the same way I was still black in Brazil and they didn't know I wasn't Brazilian until I opened my mouth and I spoke English. Racism sucks. I mean, racism exists around the world and we all know this as black people. But I think Americans sometimes don't realize that we benefit from being American abroad, especially in other black places in the Caribbean and Latin America.
>> After I came across this particular video and try to see how this white woman end up having this jail time, could ask yourself when will people re to mind their own business? You are in a foreigner. You think that because you look light skin each and everyone should kneel down for you. You are just meet people on their own country in their own motherland. You are just trying to mock them to harass them any way you want.
Now see what really happened to her. You are a big influencer. You are a big person. You are a lawyer. How come this woman came out this idea trying to mock this restaurant employee this names called this name of monkey in different ways thinking that she's superior no one is going to do anything on her because she looks white you have seen what happened to her this time around who is regretting people need to learn to do better if you think that you have this hatred this high level towards other people maybe brown people and you too you are even qualified to be free white.
I don't understand why what gave you the motive to think that because you in Brazil you have the right to treat other people anyh how you want. You think that you are superior because you are tourist or in a foreigner land. People need to know that this time around people no longer pray. You never had enough history to understand that in Brazil they can't tolerate any such things connect to racism. They are going to make it hard on you. They are going to show that no no no no this race country we can't allow anyone to come to come here to do whatever they want. Now people came out to say that this is the karma which catch you. How come you think that uh you are just there uh people when they trying to correct you you are going to respond them showing that they are inferior to you they are nothing. This what has been happening even in Mexico. A lot of white Americans the moment they go to Mexico they think that the treatment they they are giving this Mexican in America is the same treatment they are going to show them in their motherland. It can't work like that. When you are traveling in a foreigner land you need to follow law and rules. You need to know you need to stand here. You need to step here. You are not allowed to do this. You are not allowed to do that. This the first things you need to ask at first place because you think that h people I knows very well I don't belongs here whatever I'm going to do I'm going to go back in my country freely now see see what really happen when you see foreign people saying when you are a tourist you are migrant or whatever you could call yourself not the country you are going to know their culture, know each and everything.
If you feel you can't cope with that, just go in another place. Why would you choose Brazil when you feel that you have this short temper to have this hatred uh to to just jump to call people anyhow you want when you know very well you don't have any patience. What's the meaning of this? You have seen some white people the moment they go in different countries and anything happen they are going to say that you can't do anything on me you can't do anything about me I've seen a video which trained in certain country in Africa a white man went that country for a vacation the moment he he had problems with his girlfriend they started fight they came out to call this police this man They call him in a police session in a certain country in Africa. Imagine he started to to to throw mir saying f you don't mean anything.
Imagine you were throwing m police officer because he's a black man because you thought that nothing they can do on you. And for sure this this the this men were just quiet don't react anything because they think that if this man is a white when we do something things are going to get worse. Now you see this what gives some people motive to do whatever they want. You have seen this black woman this black American woman who rules her life in Tanzania. She was with a white man still that no just no anything. each and everything is still just like that just there. You couldn't even believe or understand what really happened. If it was a black man who was with her, we could have seen justice.
But see, the family kept asking, "We want to know what really happened to our daughter." Each and everyone say, "We we would want to intervene, but we can't say anything. We can't tell you what really happened. We don't want to put our life in danger." Imagine this. What we've been saying people need to know that whatever you do is in a hidden way. There will be a there will be a time each and everything will start to come on your head. Do you think this woman having this lifetime jail is going to forget Brazil vacation? No. She's going to rain in the hard way. Guys, let me know what you think about this video.
Drop your thought in the comment section. Thank you. See you in my next video.
