    Right the Germans in south america, guess your family moved there in the middle of the forties, somewhere around May of 1945?

      My city was founded in 1850, before Germany was even a single country.

      While I don’t know when exactly my family came here I know it was way before WW2.

          Not a good joke. It’s an annoying stereotype, although unfortunately some around here make it sort of deserved 😮‍💨

          Yes, there are many Germanic colonies around here, last year we did celebrate 200 years of immigration. Fun fact: the wife of the first Brazilian emperor was an Austrian Habsburg.
