We just had:

- Indigenous people acknowledged as the first inhabitants of our land (FUCK YOU WORLD CUP 2014)

- Acknowledgement of slavery as the basis of our economy, not just ‘the help’

- And actual portrayal of it as our historic shame instead of trying to soften it by saying Africans should be proud of having been slaves

- Representations of cultures from every region instead of just south and southeast

- Representations of brazilian ‘ghetto’ cultures most people turn their noses to, not just pretty ones we like to export

- A trans woman riding the bike for the Brazilian delegation

- Karol Conka, a known feminist icon and singer, as well as MC Sophia, Ludmila and Elza Soares

- Athletes planting seeds for a new forest

- Environmental awareness

- 14Bis
