Most common racial types in Brazil for each region?

[Sikeliot]

Northeast and Southeast seem to have a lot of mulattoes, predominantly European triracials, and quadroons, with some whites and blacks.
South seems to be mostly white, of Italian, Portuguese, and German descent.
North and Central-West seem to be triracial, Euro-Indigenous, and Afro-Indigenous in large part.

Do others think this is accurate?

[GrebluBro]

yes roughly
South seems to be mostly white, of Italian, Portuguese, German and also Spanish descent.


Three south states (Parana, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande Do Sul) white population is composed of
Portuguese 30%
Italian 30%;
German 20% (number one in Rio Grande Do Sul)
Spanish + Eastern Euro + other Euro ~20%

Southeast and Central-West have a lot of quadroons and triracials I think. Northeast is more mulatto.

I've met some Italian-Brazilians from Rio Grande do Sul.

the majority of Southeast declares itself "white" and is also the region with the lowest native component of Brazil, Bahia also has low indigenous component, the Northeast has more influence on the african coast, the interior is more european, african-indigenous are rare in Brazil

Where do you get these numbers? the government never asked ancestry

Check each states' demographics
and settlements of each ethnicity.

You will get a rough figure.

Since 1940 the government does not ask "race" and "ancestry" only "color" so it is not possible to have no basis!

most slaves in Brazil was to Northeastern region not southeast, nearly half the slaves of Brazil were for "bahia", Minas Gerais and rio de janeiro also became a major recipient of slaves during seculo18 and 19.

This is my Brazilian cousin (I've never showed her before)

She lives in Sao Paulo. I would say she is rather common among White Brazilians.

Her father was Chilean (my mum's cousin) and her mother is Spaniard (her parents were actually. She is Brazilian).



I also passed as regular White Brazilian actually (if I didn't talk. When I did, people realised I had an accent and thought I was Argentinian. A guy even thought I was American ).

She has visible Amerindian in the eye region, so I wouldn't say she looks fully "white" although probably 80-85%.

We both passed as regular White Brazilians actually (if I didn't talk. When I did, people thought I was Argentinian there).

She's very pretty. She can pass as Mexican too. She reminds me of a girl I know.
