Is Brasil a mixed country?

There could be several reasons for you to rather be african-american than african-brazilian, but racism could hardly be one of them. We have been historically significantly less racist than americans, despite the fact we remain a racist country.

For example, in Brazil there were never laws outlawing interracial marriages, there were never places or seats exclusive to white or black people after slavery has ended. Our Constitution and laws protect racial and ethnic minorities. In fact, racism -not to be confused with racial injury- is one of only two crimes that are considered imprescriptible in the country, the other being a coup d'etat.

I don't know man, but the fact America had a Black (mixed, but seen as Black) president when they are only 13% of the population while Brazil never had a non-White president despite always being a majority non-White country speaks volumes on how race-relations seem to work in Brazil.

I am not a leftist, lol. I am right wing nationalist. I am just against hypocrisy. It's clear African Brazilians deserve a say in Brazilian politics and economy simply because of their History and their numbers. I am not an imperialist, unlike you.

There are a lot of Brazilian politics of black ancestry, but full black? Its a minority. But we had a mulatto president as well.
He was half black

Shut up, stupid leftist. White privilege my ass.

Of course it do exist. Even more in Mexico, white people are minority there but they rule the whole country

Brazilians and latinos has racial issues. They are only in this forum to try to proove the world that their own country isnt mixed. Because our own media, and schools says the opposite. Ive heard many times in school Brazilians are a mixed of three races.

Hmm... The guy looks quadroon, not mulatto like Obama. If this is the blackest president Brazil has had, I think you are behind the US in race relations.

probably 40% black genetically

He was a president at 1909, no one cared back in that time
im sure in the 1900s no one would accept Obama as president in US
the racism was harder between ancient people

I think he was at most 30% SSA. His hair is not curly, his nose is quite thin and he is not too dark either. He was probably 20-30% SSA.
