문화적 배경

In Brazil, 'fazer vista grossa' is a key component of the 'Jeitinho'. It's often seen as a way to survive a system that is too rigid or bureaucratic. In Portugal, the phrase is often used in the context of 'cunhas' (favors). It implies that someone is being ignored because they have a connection to someone powerful. In Angola, the phrase is frequently used in social critiques regarding the 'gasosa' (small bribes). Officials might 'fazer vista grossa' after receiving a 'gasosa'. Similar to other Lusophone countries, it's used to describe the gap between official law and daily practice in markets and informal trade.
