Hello The situation is not good in Brasil, as you already know. There is no racial conscience AT ALL. Media not only shows each time more mixed couples (blacks with white women), but also promote the idea of being good to mix all races in a big melting pot. Once I ve heard someone saying that the creation of a mixed race in Brasil would bring a superior race, e new one, genetically balanced and thus with more chances against natural selection... something like that.  It is VERY common to see european citizens with black chicks. They really love it. Sometimes, It seems like white forreigners like black girls even more than brazilians....  Brown and black soccer players usually choose white, mostly blondish women to marry.  Recently the govenment has created a ministery to handle racial equality. The minister was a black woman. She has been criticized for saying that it was fair for a black to insurge against a white person because of the slavery exploitation in the last centuries. Later she was cough inside a corruption scandal, and fell.  The racial question is though to be a highly anti-social behaviour, something like being an outdated person living still in the times of slavery.  To call a black a ****** is a crime. White people have shame of its white skin and spend hours on the beaches trying to get colored.  Whiteness here is sugestive of sickness, or nerd behaviour.  Personally I think this is a self defense mechanism created by the white populations here to keep the dark crowd into the line since they are majority and nobody here likes conflicts. So in other words...Brazil and America have alot in common. :rolleyes: :o
