Mixed-Race Brazilians Now Form the Largest Share of Population
Bloomberg carried Brazil’s census milestone to the world: mixed-race Brazilians now form the country’s largest share of population at 45.3%, ahead of the 43.5% who identified as white, with Black identification climbing sharply since 2010. It is the international-news framing of the story our earlier post told from the primary source, and a useful companion when you want the milestone in one clean paragraph. For our readers the resonance is obvious: while American forms treat mixture as a puzzle to solve, the hemisphere’s largest nation just recorded it as the plain majority experience.
