I always thought the Portuguese empire, contrary to what they believe, was closer to that of the Anglos than the Spanish. After all, they were the biggest traders of African slavery, and there are fewer percentage of indigenous remaining in Brazil than even North America. Only Spain gets to boast their morality.

>there are fewer percentage of indigenous remaining in Brazil
That's because Brazilians are gigamutts. There might be fewer pure natives, but Brazilians have much more native admixture, most of them are pardos, Portuguese + Native
>>
Depends on time and place. Sometimes the intermingling with locals went pretty far even in Africa. In Portuguese wars with Kongo there were some Portuguese settlers and their mixed families fighting at the side of Kongo.

how come imperialism by brown people is more humane compared to by white people?

compare spain, portugal, italy, and turkish empires with how barbaric the brits, french, dutch, and germans could be

There were just less natives in Brazil than anywhere else in Latin America and the ones who were receptive to Portugal's influence were integrated and intermixed with the Portuguese. Up until the 1700s Brazil was very mixed with native toungues still being spoken alongside Portuguese, but as the colony developed and the gold rush started it's population started ballooning like no where else in the continent with the exception of the US, with people from across Europe moving in, and by the 1900s the exodus from Europe to Latin America further diluted the total native admixture.

>Only Spain gets to boast their morality
did you forget it was spain who destroyed the biggest native cultures in the continent and killed millions with their diseases? just compare the lands brits took from the natives vs what spain took.
>>
>>18232075
diseases were not intentional
only the spaniards could end their conquests to debate whether they were moral
it took the anglos until the 60s to consider racial equality

imperialism by brown people is far more beneficial than by white people

The glorious Spanish colonisation resulted in countries people are trying to escape from.
The barbaric British colonisation resulted in countries people are trying to get into.

You browbois are doing what commies did during the cold war. Oh communism is so great that's why they need to build a wall to stop their people from escaping(lmao). The reality is that the natives were a degraded species of man(read de Maistre's "On Human Nature" he touches on how savagery is a state of utmost degradation) and by mixing with them you only took the degradation into your very bloodstreams. Mexican cartel execution are just an evolution of Aztec and other mesoamerican people's ritualistic murder, it's not even some pathology - that's the natural course of events you'd predict from such mixing.

native slavery was banned from the getgo but colonists invented workarounds
>universities
Portugal was a centralist country unlike Spain. Portuguese students from all over the Empire flocked to Coimbra.
Besides, there were multiple higher level institutions that were universities in all but name, some of them later serving as the foundation for universities once the colonies went independent
do notice as well that Portuguese imperialism really didn't go that much away from the coast. Except for the Brazilian gold rush, Portugal would only care about the interior of the colonies once the 19th century rolled up, so the population that lived under Portuguese suzerainity was smaller.

Missed the second half of your post.
>plantations destroying the environment
... when, exactly? The coastal areas of Brazil? They were already highly anthropogenic landscapes, as the Tupi tribes used a lot of slash and burn
The coffee plantations outside the Amazon started seriously only after Brazilian independence.

banning hindu women from burning themselves, such horrible persecution
>forced labour and wage theft
As I said, slavery was the worst crime of the Portuguese empire.

Please state your case. I can't remember anything that might fit in here.

One thing about modern Indian politics that you've got to understand is that the Hindutva party sees everything that's foreign to an idealised version of Hindu culture is a crime against India and should be fought against at any cost. Indians have crazy theories about all Christian and Muslim converts there having converted only due to money that's supposedly promised to them. Many Indians even support an anti-conversion law, which should tell you about the general attitude towards Christians for many Indians.
Now, what happens when you have an empire that's actually trying to evangelise, like Portugal? Those of course become the demons to every Indian. Never matter the fact that Goa is one of India's best states, no, the demonic Portuguese raped and destroyed all good hindu temples.
Any narrative on regards to Goa should be viewed as incredibly suspect. India conquered that region without clear consultation of the locals' wishes and has sought to import huge numbers of foreigners in order to change their demographics. Actually, I'm sounding a bit crazy here, so let me say that this could also easily be explained as simply Indians from poorer regions seeking to move towards a richer state, which really should tell you a lot about Goa.
>>
>>18233469
Reality: there are native communities that still live in the same place where they signed treaties with the Portuguese 500 years ago, like the Tupinambás of Olivença
Unlike other empires Portugal stopped counting you as native (= barbarian} as soon as you adopted Christianity and the daily use of the Portuguese language. And even then, the native settlements weren't completely separated from the Europeans settlements so natives on the coast mingled with Europeans from very early on. Natives also mingled with other native groups on mission settlements which means that their collective identity was diluted.

Portuguese adventurers in Brazil married locals and used their acquired familial networks to press more locals into service, in a system called cunhadismo. The very first bandeirantes, the jungle explorers and slave-catchers were mostly born from these unions. Early portuguese colonies in Brasil, nominally beholden to the Crown and the Church, were a racial and cultural mix of Portuguese and Tupí culture; the Tupí people were the locals living by the shore that the Portguese first met and are related to many Amazonian peoples, in the Tupí-Guaraní language family. The area was never as densely populated as those colonized by Spain, however, there being no great civilizations (concurrent with the colonizers - there are traces of lost cities in the jungle and much of the soil is anthropogenic).

Later white and black (slave) newcomers dilluted this element in the population.

Portugal had a consistent dearth of settlers, even though it tried to proccur white brides (Orfãs d'El-Rei) for it's men. Miscigenation and the import of slaves was how it coped with the population/manpower issue.

>>18233296
Goan inquisition is purposefully overblown in India because it justifies their anti-colonialist beliefs. It's basically the portuguese equivalent of the "brits stole trillions from india and killed millions". In reality the Inquisition targeted people who performed rituals like sati, religious extremists, jews (of course) and policed converts. It was more of a political tool like it was in Portugal

Dutch and Anglo whites raped Native women too.

Most old stock white Anglo Americans are castizo or pardo by Latin American standards.

Many Anglos have a portion of Native DNA.

It's just that the Native population of US and Canada was less dense and many also died of disease, so the proportion of Native blood is less, like 5% per person instead of 50%

British Anglos also fucked Indian women in India, creating Anglo Indians.

In Indonesia, Dutch fucked so many Indonesian Muslim and Hindu women they created the Indo ethnicity.

Geert Wilders is Indo and he has Indonesian facial features.

Old stock white Americans and Canadians are all casinos.

I don't know whose pushing the claim that British and Dutch didn't fuck Native women because they did.

The Portuguese left East Timor alone.

East Timor was only one third Catholic, and two thirds animist when it became independent from Portugal in 1975.

Majority of East Timorese were pure natives and spoke their native languages.

There was only a small mixed race mestiço elite in East Timor.

Portugal like did nothing with East Timor for centurie when it was there.

East Timor only became majority Catholic during Indonesian occupation.

In theory. In reality Mestiços In Africa dealt with BS from the metropole and colonial administration. "Assimilated Africans" was only in name because the eays to attain it were more obtuse and cost/time consuming than attending for a raid in Vanilla Wow. You could get your status flipped at anytime if the admin decides to and a ptoerstant missionary reaching you or your ancestor first meant you were fucked since you needed tk be Catholicm

And it still went on long after abolition. Ever colonial power world wide just swapped to forced labour and other measures to extract free/extremely discounted labour.

During the rule of Almanzor's Amirí regime, the already-rich Al-Andalus slave market reached unprecedented proportions. For example, the Moorish chronicles mention that after destroying Barcelona in July 985, Almanzor brought seventy thousand chained Christians to the great market of Córdoba[317] and, after destroying Simancas in July 983, he captured seventeen thousand women[374] and imprisoned ten thousand nobles.[483] Obviously, these figures must be carefully evaluated, but likewise given the enormity this type of trade reached during his tenure, Almanzor is described as "the slave importer".[317] The commoners of Córdoba even asked his successor to stop the trade since, to get a good husband for their daughters they had to raise the dowries to exorbitant levels because the young Christian slaves were so numerous and cheap that many men preferred to buy them instead of marrying Muslims.[484]

No, most brown Brazilians are mulattoes. Indigenous ancestry is present but generally a lot lower than in most Spanish-American countries.

The civilizations the Spanish conquered in southern America had populations of tens of millions collectively and actual cities and societies so it's more prudent to compare them to, say, British India or British Sudan than anything. And in that comparison the Spanish very clearly come up short. 90%+ population reduction in their conquered territories and mass rape of the survivors. Native Americans basically don't exist as a coherent group in most of the former Spanish Empire

Even for settler colonies the Spanish were way worse. They were far more economically primitive and extractive which is a big reason of why, say, Canada is so much nicer today than Argentina. And their brutal repression in Cuba killed literally twenty times more people than British attempts to stop American independence. And that's JUST Cuba. Literally millions died in all the Latin American Wars of Independence together.

The Spanish were uniquely shitty colonizers. I genuinely can't think of any worse than them beyond one-off meme attempts.

You can also compare the Philippines to Malaysia (+Brunei, Singapore). Both thinly-populated ethnically fragmented southeast Asian polities conquered and thrown together under 1 label by a foreign colonizer for convenience. The former is so much nicer than the latter and the difference was even starker when they were both under their respective power's rule. There's a reason that there was a Philippine War of Independence against Spain that killed hundreds of thousands and no remotely comparable discontent and violence at any point in British rule in Southeast Asia.

The Indian population and economy grew under British rule. The amount of cultivated land grew. Port cities boomed. An entire class of native traders grew and spread around the world on British ships.
