    I didn’t want to, but I’m creating this thread due to a recent discussion that took place in this forum regarding White Brazilians, which showed me how much people are ignorant towards us. Not only that, many people who have never set foot in Brazil try to teach me how White Brazilians look like. Funny isn’t it? Well, I hope this thread enlighten your minds.


    Current population:

    According to the official Brazilian Census, the IBGE, whites correspond to 47% of the total Brazilian population, of course, as we all know, this percentage is flawed due to many non-whites being counted as white. A more realistic approach on the real percentage of whites in Brazil would be around 35%, concentrated in the Southeastern and Southern regions of the country. That corresponds to 60 million people, about the population of the United Kingdom, and one of the largest white populations in the world.

    The average White Brazilian nowadays is a mix of Italian with Portuguese, commonly with an extra German, Polish or Spanish input.


    Regions of Origin:

    Most of White Brazilians trace their ancestry back to Italy, Portugal, Germany, Spain and Poland, being those the most common European ethnic groups present in the country. As aforementioned, the average White Brazilian nowadays is a mix of Italian with Portuguese, commonly with an extra German, Polish or Spanish input.

    Most of those who have Italian ancestry are of Northern Italian descent, being the region of Veneto the one that contributed the most to the Italian immigration to Brazil. Other important regions of origin of Italian-Brazilians are Lombardy, Emilia-Romagna, Campania and Calabria.

    Portuguese-Brazilians came mostly from Minho and Trás-os-Montes, both located in Northern Portugal, but many people from the Beiras, Lisbon and Azores also settled in Brazil. Most of German-Brazilians descend from immigrants that came from the Western and Northern Germany, mainly from Rhineland, Hunsrück and Westphalia, but there’s also a sizable contribution from many other regions of Germany, mainly Pomerania, Saxony, Baden-Württemberg and even from Prussia, with also a Volga German contribution.

    Spaniards came mostly from Galicia, Castela and Andalusia, Poles from mainly from Pomerania, Silesia, Carpathia and from big urban centres like Warszawa, Lublin and Kraków.

    Other more ancestries that are not so common include Dutch, mostly from Noord-Brabant; British, mostly from the Scottish Lowlands and England; French from all over the country; and other Eastern European groups, specially Lithuanians, Russians, Hungarians and Ukranians.

    Regions of Settlement:

    Most of Europeans settled in Southern and Southeastern Brazil. The states with more contributions are: Northern Rio Grande do Sul, Western Santa Catarina, Western Paraná, Northern, Eastern and Western São Paulo, South Eastern Rio de Janeiro, Southern Minas Gerais and Western Espirito Santo.


    Main regions of European settlement in Brazil


    Phenotypes:

    Most White Brazilians have brown hair, brown eyes and pale skin, not as light as the British, but not as dark as Sicilians. The most common types are Atlantid, Antlanto-Med, West-Med, Apine, Dinarid and Subnordid. Baltids, Nordids, Faelids and North-Atlantids are also present, but to a minor extent.


    Examples:

    Average:

    Bruno Uvini



    Fernanda Torres



    Rubens Barrichello



    Christiane Torloni



    Murilo Benício



    Bernardo Rocha de Rezende



    Celso Portiolli




    Light End of Spectrum:

    Rodrigo Hilbert



    Odilon Wagner



    Thais Paczolek



    Luana Piovani




    Dark End of Spectrum:

    Reynaldo Gianecchini



    Natália Ambrosio

    An excellent thread. My only quip is that what you call 'pale' is, in most of your examples, more of a sallow skin tone.

    I guess now I've got what you meant. They are not as pale as the British of course, what I was trying to say is that they do not have a "brown", "olive" skin, but simply "white".

    Why do you think Whites are only 35% of the Brazilian population and not 47%?

    Many non-whites declare themselves as white, so the real percentage is smaller than the one provided by the census
