Wow. Very insightful stuff there. What part of Brazil are you from? Is there a mix of races in the more developed areas, or is it quite segregated? Is there any tension between white Brazilians and black Brazilians like there is the US? Do many people cross the border from living in the slums to living in the fancy neighbourhoods? What kind of government is in power at the moment, and do they try and help out the poorer people, (ie. Are there any government programs that try and help the less fortunate?) or is it all screwed up by the massive corruption you spoke of?
