Brazil; Brazil mulattos?

Question

I'm just curious...

How do mulatto's live in comparison to whites?

How do mulatto's live in comparison to blacks?

Answer 1

Mulatos and mulatas are really in between both classes, blacks are considered inferior but mulatos aren't, they tend to be smarter, + educated and to some considered, moreno, which here would be considered a brunette.  Mulatas are notoriously known for hot intercourse, the best I've ever had, however loyalty are not their strong trait.

Answer 2

Who the h**l cares?  If you are going to be concerned about how a certain people are treated when you go to a beautiful country like Brasil then you are going to miss out on a lot. There will be a@#holes and racists everywhere you go, just do what you have to do, live your life to the fullest and let those people be the way they are because they are the ones missing out and you will be too if you care as much as they do.  That's just the way I feel, take it from someone who has to live it everyday.  Keep your head up and don't be concerned, and to "fireman8" I am a very loyal person.

Answer 3

Blacks + Whites = Mulatto

Brancos + ****** = Mulatos

Answer 4

i dont know what the heck the first answer is talking about but from what i get from my brazilian fiance, everyone is about the same.

Answer 5

I worked and lived in Brazil for over a year and I can say that mulattos, black, whites etc are all about the same. There really isn't any division between all of them like there is in the USA. It's a nice scenerio because basically everyone is the same and treated such. Also the mulattos and blacks do not try to stick out by dressing different and listening to music that is geared towards them. Everyone mixes well in Brazil and that is another thing that I like about Brazil.

As one poster said, if you're rich then your rich, also I will comment that if you can afford to live in a upper class neighborhood then it doesn't matter what color you are. The same goes for employment and dating and social activities.

Answer 6

The concept of mulatto is very subjective. The main race/colours (as it is used in the census: "raça ou cor") in Brazil are white, brown and black. BROWN DOES NOT = MULATTO. Mulatto is a person with European and African blood, you can be brown because of other reasons, like a mix of indigenous with African or indigenous with European or the three, or you simply don't know what is your mix, which is the most common thing. Some mulattos identify themselfes as browns, some as blacks. That beeing said, I advise that my comments here are based only on my impressions, not in any government statistics.

Well mulattos are below whites in economic pyramid but above black. But they are much more closer to blacks in that aspect than to whites.

Answer 7

Brazil's color scheme toward blacks is somewhat different than in the United States.

In the U.S., there are whites, then everyone else. A person who is 1% black, 99% white may be grouped with "everyone else." In rare cases, like Mariah Carey, whites will claim someone like her.

Whites, of course are placed higher than everyone else.

In Brazil, there are blacks, then everyone else. A mulatto is grouped under the same group as a white person.

The full blooded black is treated the worst of all, even among mulattoes and quadroons. http://books.google.com/books?id=nFozTyI...

"Always thinkin" must not be thinkin today. People are not all treated the same in Brazil: http://www.brazilbrazil.com/racism.html There is plenty of evidence: http://www.vernonjohns.org/plcooney/braz... Ball is in your court, "always thinkin". Prove me wrong.

Answer 8

Mulattos are a mid term between whites and black, but, there's no division between whites, mulattos and blacks. As race, mulattos are considered blacks.

There are pardos, also. A mid term between a white and a mulatto.

Pardo is someone who have characteristic of whites (hair, mouth, nose, etc) but, have dark/almost dark skin, like Jennifer Lopez, Maryah Carrey, and almost everybody so called latino who are not white like Andy Garcia, Marisa Tomei, Cameron Diaz or Christina Aguillera, for example.

Pardos are considered blacks for some persons, and whites for other persons.

But, If someone is rich, is rich. If belong to the middle class, he/she is middle class. If he/she is poor, is poor. Be white, mulatto or black.

Many people from other countries think that we have ghetos in Brazil. Somethinhg like: "O! you are white: what are you doing living in a slum? Como on with us, we will take you out from here!" or "Hey, man: what are you doing between whites. Can you see the advertence that this luxuous condominium is exclusive for us?"...

There is not this, in Brazil.

If you have money, you live wher you can buy. If you have not money, live where you can stay.

You can have blue eyes, blond hair and look like a dannish. If you have no money, the slum is your place. On the other hand, if you are as black as a crow, but if you have conditions, you live in a mansion. Ther are many examples of both cases, in Brazil.

There's not prohibited jobs for blacks or mulattos, or a natural selection that trun impossible a black or mulatto be as sucessfull as a white.

It's truth that mulattos and blacks belong to the poor or middle class in the majority, but, ist's true that whites belong to the middle or poor class in the great part of the cases. What is the difference?

See www.orkut.com (my space is copy of orkut community) and you will find millions of brazilians. Whites, pardos, mulattos and blacks.
