You are including all the 'pardos' as African descendants in a very misleading and bigoted way, as if they were predominantly african on average. The 43% 'pardos' are multiracial leaning towards euro, sometimes with greater ssa african ancestry, like in Bahia and Rio, and sometimes more Native American, like in Northern Brazil. Post crowd pics from all over Brazil, and let's see it.

People of pred. African ancestry are a minority in Brazil, particularly in Northern Brazil and in Southern Brazil. The overall African contribution is definitely low, and certainly exaggerated abroad to the point of distorting what Brazil is really like.

All genetic studies say % african contribution to Brazilian population is minoritary. Media articles can be biased and misleading. "Pardos" from Northern Brazil and Southern Brazil aren't "black". Even those from Bahia and Rio de Janeiro aren't pred. african in ancestry.

Brazil (according to an autosomal study from 2011 with "whites", "pardos" and "blacks" following their respective proportions, from nearly all Brazilian regions):

"In all regions studied, the European ancestry was predominant, with proportions ranging from 60.6% in the Northeast to 77.7% in the South".

I rely on genetic studies, since they have followed scientific methodology and are based on measuring actual ancestry, not self reported ancestry (in Latin America self reported and actual ancestry do not necessarily correlate).




Anyway, having traveled in most of Brazil, extensively, I have to point out the news are really distorting the diversity of Brazil... crowd pics of mainly 'pardo' (i.e, 'mixed', 'multiracial' states)... they wouldn't pass in Africa at all:
