Yeah, that's looking into it a little too deeply, methinks. Heck, if she's like +70% of the fandom, she probably got into PT through a Swedish song.
Just one thing that annoyed me more than it should have.
ARAB is for a person.
ARABIC is for a thing.
Fakir is not a thing. It's like calling an Asian person oriental... Or maybe I'm just sensitive, eh. But yes, all the "this is what people from this country are like" was a liiiittle unnecessary. It's sometimes fun seeing how much you fit if you're actually from those countries (*points to You Know You Live in Wisconsin When... posts*) but doing it to other people is just stereotyping. I can't even read that part of the review.
I always keep the silly notations because I'm paranoid XD; To me, Autor could have been singing in Portuguese and the only reason I'd care is because where the heck would he learn Portuguese? XD
