      Where I live, most people are mixed-race or Indigenous. Because of that, anyone with slightly lighter skin gets called ‘white’ here. But when you travel to states like São Paulo, Rio, or Santa Catarina, you realize that the people we call ‘white’ back home aren’t actually that white compared to people down there. I mean, of course you can still find paper-white people here too, it’s just way less common.

      What criteria? Self declaratory? Dna test. Cause even “white” people in Brazil normally have black or indigenous ascendents.

    5. velapreta on

      There should be a color for Black people on the não, since It is large population in Brasil

      Your map is OFF and so is your context.

      Historically, enslaved people sent to Brazil included Africans, an estimate of 5 million and the bulk of the trade , Also Africans came under several statuses, including free, (they were not all slaves), Indigenous Brazilians, Indigenous peoples from neighboring South American regions, small numbers of enslaved Asians (from India, Sri Lanka, Southeast Asia, China, and Japan), mixed ancestry enslaved people, and isolated European cases.

      I am also a genealogist. I study and investigate families and history, as a living.

      Can someone say if UFC champion Alex Pereira would be considered mixed or Indigenous?

      For those of you who are like me and immediately wish they showed unpopulated areas or the actual borders… Yah, turns out there are over 5,000 munipalities. It is nice to see that bit of indigenous purple by the border of Paraguay. Seems it is Tacuru, one of the only munipalities in Brazil to use a non-European language as one of their official ones. Though not surprising, since they speak Guarani, which is spoken daily by perhaps four-fifths of the population of Paraguay. Always interesting to see language maps of South America and how it does not just follow the five languages of the colonial powers.

      In Rio Grande do Sul, there is a very high percentage of indigenous/black people too, as described by Darcy Ribeiro in “Raízes do Brasil”

      In fact, from the south states, is the higher percentage

      Je serais curieux de voir aussi la répartition des richesses et les taux de crimes dans le pays.

    13. SachielBrasil on

      I don’t like the “bigger group” map, cause they makenit seem like there are defined frontiers, when, in reality, everything is very mixed.

    14. thelastofmyname on

      Brazilian here, this come from the census were you choose what represents you. But in most places in Brazil, the majority is mixed race (not pardo), anybody can be brazilian: you can look middle eastern, you can look asian, european, hell near me theres is a couple of danish, you can be black, you can be mixed with all of this, my friends wife is from a portuguese, african, syrian and italian ancestry, my wife is mixed (indigenous, portuguese and black) but is white as snow with jet black hair, i am what is considered white (green eyes, white skin, chestnut hair) but my little cousin looks like indigenous, my cousin looks japanese (his grandparents are japanese). There is regions that are more consistantly with racial predominancy in foreigners would be able to understand, like the state of Bahia is predominantly african, but Rio Grande do Sul is mostly white, but in most places you are so mixed that rarely you don’t have african, portuguese or indigenous in ancestry.

      Both of my mom’s and dad’s family immigrated from Poland to Brazil in late 1890 and stablish in the south basically everyone has an Europen background, German, Russian, polish, Italian, it’s quite something.

    16. mateusvalladao on

      Is it just me or Brasil has become a recurring topic of discussion. All I can say those can give you an idea of where “white, mixed, black, indigenous………anyone”. However, we’re not defined by those standards. Our racial diversity is much different than most countries and how we see each other differs a lot too. If you’re interested, there’s plenty of Brazilian documentaries and movies that you can study. Anyways… come to Brasil.

    17. PanquecaaBR on

      Só lembrando que os dados carecem de um pouco mais de afirmação, pq as pesquisas do censo do IBGE não questiona o que vc “diz ser”, ou seja, tem muito pardo que se declarou branco na pesquisa 😉

    18. Coccinellidae- on

      the problem whit the map is: predomiant, but all those places are like 49% vs 51% or somethink like that close…..

    20. Militaum on

      Irmão Afro-Brazilians é meu pau de asa, favor não importar cultura americana pro meu país. Nunca na minha vida ouvi alguem se referir dessa forma aqui.

    21. TopWealth4550 on

      theres potentional gain to not been white in brazil
      so i dont think you can take this as face value

    24. Loud-Resolve5405 on

      Im white from south. Pale skin, green eye, blonde. No one can tell I am brazilian when I’m Ireland. My genetic test came with 51% european (france, german, spanish) 30% african (several and several) , 13% native american (andes, central america, east of amazon, guarani, etc…), 4% ashkenazis and others.

      No one is “pure”, thank god

      Brazil is such an interesting country.

      Also, whilst this map might not show it, the number of Pardo to White Brazilians is about 90 million for each.

    27. tharliborio on

      Most of the white brazilians are pardo too, just light-skinned. Of course, there are white people too, especially in cities with significant European immigration.

    28. starsforfeelings on

      I’ve been conducting interviews about many specific topics and after all of them we have to question people how they identify. I wish the option for white skin was actually “White Brazilian” instead of “White”.
      Many people feel weird about indetifying as just white considering how mixed we really are.
