Not true at all. Brazil is a lot way more pardo than black and white though.

However, Brazil is big and diverse. Here at a baile funk in Rio, the crowd is mostly or predominantly Black.

Interesting, that is why i always empathize visiting the country instead of going by photos from the internet. Here is a example, this is a crowd of the Washington redskins football game. Notice that the crowd do not reflect the demographic of the Washingdon Dc metro area but reflect on a certain segment of the population.

Independence day parade in Washington DC.

Here is the demographic of Washington DC,

In 2007 the population distribution was 55.6% black, 36.3% white, 8.3% Hispanic (of any race), 5% other (including Native Americans, Alaskans, Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders), 3.1% Asian, and 1.6% mixed .[20] Even though they compose the city's largest ethnic group, Washington has a steadily declining black population, due to many African Americans' leaving the city for suburbs. At the same time, the city's Caucasian population has steadily increased, in part due to effects of gentrification in many of Washington's traditionally black neighborhoods

Does the Washington Red Skin crowd from the photo i posted mirrors the demographic percentage above, obviously not. Therefore, whenever someone post internet photos of crowds, i take it as a grain of salt until i visit the country and its many different regions, and have a basic understanding of the actual demographics.

However, i am not suggesting the poster is actual wrong, because he knows his country better than me obviously, and i also heard southern brazil is far more European influence than most of the country, but at the same time it is better to visit the country and see things for yourself and get a better perspective of the people, culture and demographics of the nation.
