Brazil has prob more negroes than USA.

[Heather Duval]

Self declared negroes in Brazil: 14.739.963

But everyone knows that light blacks / mulattos etc are seen as morenos and not preto. These people call themselves pardos. If there was one drop rule in Latam, these creatures would declare themselves black

These people have the biggest identity crisis in Brazil

mulatos cant be counted as black the same reason they cant count as european.

I am not a mulatto and in my documents it says that I am pardo. LOL. My sister was born lighter than me and claims to be parda, but to me she's PRETA. Colorism is present in Brazil, its like you are preto or moreno.

These videos are very interesting.

But these are self declared negroes. In fact it is more easy to find a pure white in Brazil than a pure black. Maybe the only places with big concentratios of pure blacks in Brazil is some places in the states of Bahia, Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro and most of them are very poor.

Mulatos are an type of Pardo and Colorism is something imported from USA by leftists.

"Pardo" is not a good term because it is used for skin and the skin color don't means much things genetically. Also other problem with the world "pardo" is that it is used for both triracial/mulato but also for mestizos who are clearly different, so because of that, most of the time we cannot know acurately the number of mestizos in Brazil since in many researchs they say they are "pardo".... So, there had to be the "mestizo" option most often in racial researches

Mulattoes and light blacks claims to be moreninhos and pardos here in Rio. By US standard they would be black. Many cariocas is a mulatto claiming to be pardos. U need to be too dark to be seen as preto here. We dont have one drop rules. Brazil would be very black by US standards, plenty of blacks here self declared pardos coz they are light skinned.

The only thing I know about Brazil, is that 1. they supposedly have the women with the roundest and thickest asses in the world, and 2. parts of their cities are horrifically dangerous, but other parts of the country are beautiful. I've never been there. That's all I know, or care, about Brazil. Not the worst thing a country could be known for. Oh and their football.

Actually, i think the mestizo population is more than 9%, something like 13,5% or even more... Most of mestizos lives in very poor and isolated areas in the countryside and in poor neighborhoods when they live in urban areas, so we cannot know for sure how big is the number but i know it is a very big number and it is increasing a lot now because there is a lot of imigrants from Peru, Bolivia and from other mestizo countryes caming to Brazil nowadays.

"big number" when the Brazilian census had the mestizo option (cabloco) they were never larger than tri racials. They were always an irrelevant number within mixed race group. And they are probably still minorities. Since they only exist in Rio Grande do Sul, and in the North of Brazil.

This is a classification of "color", not ancestry (cultural or genetic).

"Pardo" is a multipurpose term that can mean everything (any non-white configuration) or nothing (it does not differentiate triracial from any other type of combination, and does not apply or apply inconsistently to blends with Asians, for example).

And to the extent that based on self-declaration, it is coated with a great deal of subjectivity.

no, I don't think it's silly at all, you are acknowledging what you are, as a whole. you are not going around saying "hey I'm native american", instead you say I am mixed with such and such (if possible in percentages). I for once am triracial, and identify as multiracial, you can laugh as much as you want when I tell you I am part native and african, but it won't change what I am.

[Dragoon]

Pardos are Black 90% of the time. Many "Whites" in Brazil are also Black.

Okay but what is "black"? There is only subjective answers depending on indivudual and society you were raised with.
One drop rule? Appearance? Actual Sub-saharan African?

The average "preta" is only ~50% SSA. Average "pardo" only ~20% SSA.
These also have Native American ancestry.

Thats much less than African-Americans with average 70-80% SSA. Obama might be mulatto/preta?
These have very little or no Native American ancestry.

Because of whitening Brazilian system.

[akondrel]

Because of whitening Brazilian system.

Brazilian racial whitening operates in the opposite direction of the one drope rule.

While the former believed to be capable of producing a largely white population through a process of racial assimilation (which would be a selective miscegenation and aimed at suppressing some phenotypes over another previously desired), the latter was constructed to guarantee "racial purity ", or homogeneity, of an already largely white population.

For some, the Brazilian system comes close to admitting one drope rule in reverse.

What u think about: moreno claro, moreninho, queimado de sol and all those names to not say preto?

[akondrel]

In the Brazilian system a hierarchy of "colors" was created where, historically, whiteness was valued and negritude devalued; these terms are euphemisms, most of the time, to dispel blackness and bring whiteness closer.

In the Brazilian system, if it does not look like a Zulu warrior, then it is not black; if it is visibly mixed but light-skinned, then it is "moreno claro, moreninho, queimado de sol" etc. If it has close mixed ancestry, but has no visible characteristics of that mixture, then it is white.

[Dominicanese]

ofc brazil has more blacks than the USA

all those numbers r scammed down typical of LATAM countries, to downgrade the non euro alittle bit and increase the euro so that we r not seeing as moneys or indians

Brazil whitening policie can be considered a sucess today

[akondrel]

It was successful to some extent. Brazil whitening policie intended a white country, or almost totally constituted by whites, although the great majority had a significant amount of nonwhite ancestors.

In demographic terms this has never been achieved, and today this trend is reversing, both demographically, with the increase in the proportion of non-whites in the population, and culturally, by the increasing appreciation of blackness, although not so widespread in the population.

Mas de qualquer forma, eles nunca foram forçados a se misturar. Transaram com mestiços porque quiseram.

De fato. Pelo menos desconheço que tenha ocorrido uma política de "cruzamento forçado".

De toda sorte, essa política de branqueamento sempre foi ambígua. No Rio Grande do Sul, por exemplo, até uma geração anterior a minha não era incomum encontrar pequenas cidades do interior onde as pessoas mais velhas nem mesmo falavam o português, ou falavam de forma muito precária, pq no dia a dia se comunicavam melhor e mais rapidamente em alemão (ou dialetos) ou italiano (ou dialetos). A endogamia era muito forte e o aumento de pessoas brancas na população gaúcha decorreu mais da taxa de natalidade extremamente alta dos imigrantes europeus do que de um "embranquecimento" da população mestiça eventualmente preexistente.
