I think you have to step back 20 years in time.
I wasn't trying to offend
I love Brazilians and Brazil but I know that in the 1980's South America was not seen in the eyes of many in Europe or the US as mainstream western civilization (Europe and the US) even though it had enormous European connections historically. People of Portuguese, Italian or Spanish extraction may have disagreed vehemetly but many others would not have regarded South American nations as part of the First World at that time.
