The phrase itself is Portuguese for not drinking cachaça, Brazil's well-known sugarcane spirit, and saying the speaker is simply white, which explains why the clip circulates mainly among Portuguese-speaking meme audiences. It is shared as a short reaction audio for jokes about drinking, parties and mistaken assumptions, and its appeal comes from the literal, unexpected explanation rather than any larger story. Because it is short and easy to quote, creators reuse it in edits, status videos and group chats where a quick defensive punchline fits.
