Brazil: African Americans in Brazil:
Brazil experiences racism because, simply, they do not like or perhaps they find disgusting those of African descent. And correction, racism in Africa is officially a product of colonization and imperialism. It would be wise for you to read history instead of telling others to do so. Truly read - I don't mean a blurb in some newspaper. Read history and you will find yourself quietly shamed. With regard to the mixing you described- that's all good and well but is reflective of a societal understanding that everyone wants to claim a non-African origin or relationship which is racist. Features mean nothing and is a ridiculous standard to determine heritage particularly in a country with massive mixing of human beings. Have you ever seen people from Africa for real?!?! Straight nose and silky hair with very brown skin not light skin but a rich and dark brown complexion. It's not good to be so superficial that you bend backward in order to not claim a race that enslavers or immigrant enslavers have brainwashed you to prefer. Really think about it fairly and attempt to see another side. My two cents ...or real.
