less visible or rather a pettytopic for discussion. It turns out to be a perfect place for humanity tosurvive and share.I have been observing recently! Most of the Brazilian magazines or the TV programswhether it is a news channel or Novelas ( serials) are packed with white skinned models . If you switch on TV onewill notice what I am talking about, a display limited to white skins andBrazilian Prados (Brown). I also noticed the limited presence of blacks at workenvironment. These findings need to be seriously considered and evaluated. Is Brazil a racial Paradise or racial haven? Brazil was the last country to abolish slavery in thenew world (1888). It is home to the 2nd largest blackcommunity in the world after Nigeria. Brazil has more blacks than in USA.During the slavery period about 8 million Africans were brought into Brazil towork in the plantations (Sugarcane and later to coffee) and mines. The slaveswere treated heinously and indifferently, but unlike USA they were later freedor had the right to buy lands or save the other slaves. Also, the Portuguese menmingled easily with African women and they openly accepted the fatherhood. A renowned scholar of 20th century Gilberto Freyre in his book, says" with respect to race relations the Brazilian situation is probably thenearest approach to paradise to be found anywhere in the world"After the abolishing of slavery, the governmentadministered a "whitening" policy by immigrating millions of Europeans.A catalyst to an overwhelming exchange of colors and resulted in mixed heritage.As on 2008, PNAD (PesquisaNacional por Amostra de Domicilios) provides the following findings: 48.43% (white), 6.84% (Black), 43.80 %(Pardos/Brown), 0.58% (Asian), 0.28%(Indigenous) and 0.07% (Undeclared)In the documentary "Brazil a racial paradise byAfro-American Professor Henry Louis Jr takes a one-step deeper observation on theracial discrimination in Latin America.

Zeze Motta, the actor of thefamous 1976 Brazilian film "Xica da Silva", scorns "Her producer did not wanted to cast her in this film, because theproducer felt she was very ugly". She adds "until recentlyblacks were considered ugly". Abdias Nascimento, a civil rights legendcondemns that the governments propagated the message that blacks are treatedequal, which he thinks is a huge lie.However, the changing governments has seriouslyconsidered the situation and taken actions. Since 2001 more than 70 publicuniversities have installed racial admission quotas. On the flip side the historians claims that racialdiscrimination is relatively mild compared to the Brazilian epidemic calledsocial classes. Social Classes aredefined by social status, money, influence and so on. Brazil community basicallyforms a pyramid structure, which is typically divided by segments (class A, B,C, D, E, F). Bottom of the pyramid islargely constituted by the black community mostly spread across the shantytowns or inconvenient neighborhoods.
