Not standing out helps. Dressing very casually like wearing a t-shirt with shorts or so. One Surinamese once told me he used to live in neighbouring Brazil (forgot to ask where in Brazil). He also added: 'yes, the violence is real and Cidade de Deus isn't that exaggerated at all for certain neighbourhood, it's a hell'. I asked him how he dealt with it and his response: 'well, I'm black, people are less prone picking a fight with me'.
And he had a point I think. People tend to perceive black people as more assertive and able to defend themselves (even helps for gun violence).
This also means, that being a white tourist in Brazil makes you stand out no matter how you dress (but it's still wise to wear cheap clothes regardless).
