One can't please everybody. It's true. Most brazilians are sharing their flats with their whole family... which is terrible, but it's true because its the only way they can afford it. Most come from northern poor areas of Brasil, and work in jobs we don't want to work, or there aren't enough people to work. But they come from a very different culture, usually have many parties at home, because it is very common in their culture, unlike portuguese culture. If all brazilians are like that? absolutely not. If there are many brazilians living in those apartaments and doing that? so many. Nothing is black or white.

Nuance is important.
