I think there's more criticism of Brazil waiting on the road ahead. The U.S. is in front of Brazil, but Brazil will catch up. It's not like everyone is oblivious to these facts.
"Brazil" is named 18 times in this recent article; to wit:
"Martine Jean interview on Harvard and the Legacy of Slavery"
David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies at Harvard University; June 28, 2021.
