So were many Brazilians -- we have a large Ukrainian community.
You can become Brazilian. And this was even more true in the first half of the 20th century.
Other foreign-born Brazilians include Otto Maria Carpeaux, Paulo Ronai, Eliseu Visconti, Alfredo Volpi, Victor Brecheret, my ancestors, some of my cousins, my cousin's daughter etc.
