Best Answer

The census, the majority of the population continues to be classified as white (49.9%), brown as a considerable portion (43.2%) and a very small number as black (6.3%). Fact is, genetically, Brazil has a population whose origins are African, European and indigenous, and not "white" nor "black" or "brown"as the census: 86% of Brazilians have more than 10% African genes, and the European heritage is dominant. That is, only 14% of Americans would be genetically white, a figure almost 50% lower than the census of the IBGE. The motivation of most Brazilians classify themselves as white in the census, is a product of veiled racism rooted in the culture of the country, which is imposed by the media a Caucasian standard of beauty.
