[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op Here. OMG, this thread has delved into culture appropriation??? I only posted it because since I haven’t been living in Brazil for the past 20 years nor I’m part of the Hispanic community, I have no idea of costs for this type of party or how to go about it in this country. And if we decide to throw her a party, of course I wouldn’t call it QUINCENERA because we don’t even speak Spanish. My daughter was the one who approached the subject with this name because, I think, it is her frame of reference since I have never even mentioned to her “festa de Quinze anos” or “festa de debutante,” (what is called in Brazil. And I thought you peeps would understand better what I was talking about if I said quincenera since you guys seem more familiar with Hispanic culture in general than the particulars of each country in Latin America. In any event, the cost seems too much for just a random birthday party. I think I will just give her a nice piece of jewelry and offer a trip to Japan instead (Japan because she is into their culture and I know it is one of the places she wants to visit). Thanks everyone for your input.[/quote] OP-I think it’s only one troll yapping about cultural appropriation even after us Brazilians explained we have the tradition as well. Boa sorte! [/quote]
