Keep crying darkie lol
For people who do not understand this study, I will break it down for you
Keep in mind that the people in the case of Mexico were low income people from the public university of UNAM (free public university by the way where majority of the students are low income) and also many of them had origins in Southern Mexico
less than 10% of the rest of the samples were coming from elsewhere of the nation
The Brazilian samples were majority from Porto Algre but that doesn't really matter much
Melanin Index of Mexico and Brazil
Afro Brazilians: 50.6
Admixture: 49% Black +
39% European + 11% Amerindian
Afro Mexicans: 48.2
Admixture: 37% Black + 41% Amerindian +
22% European
Afro Mexicans despite only having 22% European are LIGHTER than Afro Brazilians
In conclusion: Afro Mexicans are lighter despite lower European
Mixed Brazilians: 36
Admixture:
69% European + 18% African + 13% Amerindian
Mixed Mexicans: 35.5
Admixture: 56% Amerindian +
39% European + 5% African
Despite mix race Brazilians coming out
A LOT more European than mix race Mexicans, the Melanin Index puts Mix Mexicans to be
LIGHTER than these very Euro Brazilians
In conclusion: Mix race Mexicans being only 39% European are lighter than Brazilians who are 69% European
White Brazilians: 30.7
Admixture:
85% European + 8% African + 7% Amerindian
White Mexicans: 31.5
Admixture:
53% European + 42% Amerindian + 5% Black
In this one Brazil wins but not by a long shot, if we take into consideration the admixture of both populations you will see that despite these Mexicans coming out 53% European vs Brazilians being 85%, Mexicans are very but very close to their skin tone.
Now if we take into account that the average Mexican is more within this admixture
53% European + 42% Amerindian + 5% Black
and Brazilians more around this admixture
69% European + 18% African + 13% Amerindian
that would mean that the average Brazilian is more within this Melanin Index: 36
while the average Mexican more within this Melanin Index: 31.5
so in other words, yes Mexicans are lighter and it has NOTHING to do with European or who has more because clearly despite this study putting you guys at a much higher Euro admixture, majority of them are darker than the Mexicans who came out more Amerindian by a large margin
