[QUOTE]Originally posted by Thereal: [QB] Interesting? But that doesn't really explained why Brazil has less Afro Brazilians when they started with more enslaved Africans than the U.S. My only guess is their true population numbers are being distorted. If true,the Indigenous Brazilians are like 1% of the total population and if there were more Euro Brazilians from the start why the high mixed race population if the Afro Brazilians where somehow being stopped from population growth and the Indigenous Brazilians aren't big enough to maintain a mixed race group? [IMG]http://www.thomaslegion.net/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/transatlanticslavetradeusamericanroutesmap.jpg[/IMG] From a site called worldpopulationreview. Brazil’s census addresses ethnicity and race [b]by categorizing people mainly by skin color.[/b] It asks people to place themselves into one of a number of categories, some of which would seem unusual to an American or European. As well as ‘indigenous’ (the smallest category), Brazilians are asked to report whether they believe they are white, black, brown or yellow. The results of the census indicated that [b]92 million (48%) Brazilians were white, 83 million (44%) were brown, 13 million (7%) were black, 1.1 million (0.50%) were yellow and 536,000 (0.25%)[/b] were indigenous. This method of classifying race is controversial within Brazil, and IBGE has been criticized for continuing to use it. [/QB][/QUOTE]
