If you’ve ever looked at a group of Brazilian friends and tried to guess who was “Black,” you’ve already joined the club. You nod, smirk, and realize that the answer is never simple. It’s like asking, “How many stars are in the sky?” The official answer is a number, but the real answer is “look up and feel it.” So, how many Blacks in Brazil? As many as it takes to make the best music, the most heartfelt samba, and the most confusing census form on Earth.
Grab a caipirinha, smile, and just enjoy the ride. You’ll never get a straight answer, but you’ll get a great story.
