That's only because you were white....

The W3 designation I hold is by virtue of birth only. Brazil requires a
valid passport, return travel and indication you have the means to pay for
services... ethnic origin or skin colour is not an issue for entry to
Brazil.

You think if I were of Arabic descent entering the USA... that I would be
treated with the same disdain Brazilians afford US citizens?
