the other user posted as a source a book which is not avaible online which seems not to be correct when there's a conflict of content going on moreover the term pardo was used in the th century more to describe a free slave than a person of mixed race heritage moreover in brazil people self report their race and nobody is able to say what race another person is without using a source reporting what race the person reported to be and race in brazil is more based on skin color and a mulato person can be described as black mulato itself or even white and it depends of his her skin color i already asked a third opinion about an user describing another person's race without source
