Why would anybody pretend Brazil isn't poor?

Ok, we are not terribly poor people are starving around the streets, but salaries are very low, prices are very hard, wealth is very concentrated, and a huge share of the people live from government handouts.

That is not being rich.

Well, that way there is nothing to confront or solve because they are not poor and by inference there is no injustice.

It's like us saying, no, there is no racism in the US (or practically any place).
