Asian (Japanese) Brazilians

Daniele Suzuki

Sabrina Sato

Aline Nakashima

Contestants at a Miss Brazil-Japan pageant

It's upsetting to me that the crown for Miss Nikkei Brazil went to a mestiça. This just confirms the standard of beauty most Brazilians keep alive, which is that beauty is synonymous with Caucasian or Caucasian admixture. All the young and famous "beautiful" Asian Brazilians I've seen in the Brazilian media are admixed. Don't quote me, but I read that 72% of Brazilians of Japanese descent are unmixed, where as 28% percent are admixed.

That's not exactly true if you take into account that it would be the French the ones to invent the term "Latin American" during their brief adventure in Mexico.

True, but most French in present day only consider themselves and other ethnic Latin Europeans as Latinos.
