Not sure if this is the right board for this but what the heck.
I'm an 18 year old brazilian and I'll be visiting Europe next january. The thing is I really look like a kebab and I'm not sure if I'll be treated differently because of my appearance. Should I bring my kippa so that the locals wont consider me a threat or am I better off going normally?

Pretty sure a huehue got executed by a British cop on the London Underground a few years back on suspicion of being a terrorist (he was reaching for his oyster card which resembled a detonator).
You sure this is a good idea?

I've already bought the tickets and booked the hotels, so there's no chance of me not going. I also guess there are less muslims in the places I'm going (Bratislava, Budapest and Vienna) than in London, so that's a plus.
Ugh, there's millions of tourists in Europe every single day. You'll be just fine. Western Europe is a giant theme park anyway.
Dress nicely and don't do shady shit and nobody will even notice you.
What's a kippa? Being a jew is a no-no everywhere.

Honestly the kippah isn't going to get you much better treatment. People will all roll their eyes, snicker and groan if you don't want to pay for something or question a price.
Just learn how kebabs dress, and dress the opposite. Even consider dressing stereotypically Brazilian IE white khakis, Panama hat, smoke a cigar, gold jewellery etc etc. Just to avoid being confused. There is no negative rap to Brazilians so you'll be fine.
Right. So kebabs typically wear
>Distressed shirts (fake rips)
>Polo shirts with huge logos that say stuff like POLO SPORT or AMERICAN CLUB or have fake Ralph Lauren
>Gucci or Louis Vuitton
>Greasy hair, neatly done beard
>Really big single-lens sunglasses like 2005 Jersey shore style
>Pre faded and pre ripped jeans, usually too tight.
>Adidas or Nike if they're criminals
>Shiny dress shoes
>Too much cologne
>Shiny jackets with big fake logos and stripes, always really really tight
Pic related obviously minus the girls pretty much sums up how they all dress. Dress the opposite and you'll be fine.

Nah, you'll be fine in 99,9% of western Europe and most of eastern. Especially when they hear your accent. I've never encountered any dislike of South-American people really in western Europe really. A lot of South-American exchange students here too. Usually they're seen as friendly and sometimes a little bit clueless (due to cultural differences and the language barrier). But definitely friendly (and often enthusiastic). The hate against Muslims is there sometimes, but not as much as the media wants you to believe. And even then it shouldn't be a problem for you.
wear a t-shirt with brazillian flag

That's strange, I'm American and those are Brazilian stereotypes.
Panama hats and cigars? Have British people never met a Brazilian IRL?

Yeah all the Brazilians I know in Texas dress pretty much like that, always in nice brand name polos and Gucci bags. But so do the Bosnians in NY.
Immigrants, not always but as a trend, when they come from poorer countries to the first world they often try very hard to dress nice.
Anyway OP, you are being a bit of a bitch for no reason. Dress how you want to dress, people will realize you are Brazilian from your accent anyway.
