[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most Brazilians I've met are pretty.... white. [/quote]

I've literally never met a white Brazilian, and I've met thousands of them. Almost all of them are mixed race. 
Do you find that most of the people you meet in general are white? Could be a you thing. [/quote]

Hi, nice to meet you. 100% white and 100% Brazilian here. You have A LOT to learn about my country if you've "literally never met a white Brazilian." I can guarantee you that most of these "thousands" of Brazilians you've met and are considering non-white would actually laugh and be pretty offended to hear you don't think they are white. [/quote]

I'm not saying there are no white Brazilians, just that I've met many Brazilians (including when I lived there for a year) and none were white.

And yes, I am know that many, if not most, non-white Brazilians would be offended at being called non-white, as it is an extremely racist and shade-ist country. For example, the friend I lived with there, who has a black father, insisted that he is white because his mother is white and he has green eyes. The definitions of white and non-white in Brazil are basically the opposite as here. [/quote]

You are confused, and I am so sorry for you.[/quote]
