Like the U.S., immigration to Brazil has had an enormous effect on race and culture in Brazil.  In fact, Brazil has the largest number of Italians outside Italy and the largest number of Japanese outside Japan!

The largest immigrant groups are Portuguese, Italians, Spaniards, Japanese, and Germans.  In fact, there were even former Nazis who immigrated to Brazil after World War II.  At the end of the 19th century, there were twice as many Italians in São Paulo as there were Brazilians, so as you can imagine, the city has an extremely strong Italian influence.  There is an Italian neighborhood called Bixiga, and Paulistas eat Italian food and have incredibly good pizza.  Similarly, there is a huge number of Japanese in São Paulo, especially in the Liberdade neighborhood, and Japanese influences can be seen everywhere.
