I come from a Germanic colony in Brazil, and while the language has been mostly genocided out, people still sometimes drop random German words in the middle of Portuguese, or mix Portuguese words with some German grammar.
My mother when younger visited Germany and got confused looks from the family hosting her by asking where was the “lixolatte” (“lata de lixo” is the Portuguese for garbage can)
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.

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.
It was just a joke, especially Brazil has quite a large German minority from the 18th century AFAIK.
