From Tom Phillips in the Guardian UK, November 17, 2011: "Brazil census shows African-Brazilians in the majority for the first time" "
For the first time since records began black and mixed race people form the majority of Brazil's population, the country's latest census has confirmed. Preliminary results from the 2010 census, released on Wednesday, show that 97 million Brazilians, or 50.7% of the population, now define themselves as black or mixed race, compared with 91 million or 47.7% who label themselves white."
More recently, Yahaura Michelle in Yahoo! News, November 23, 2023, "The African Diaspora: Countries Outside of Africa With Large Black Populations": "
According to a 2022 report from the North American Congress of Latin America, Brazil has the most significant African diaspora, with 56 percent or about 120 million people. While Brazil is deemed the largest South American country, Black residents have stated that racism has been the primary cause of racial inequality since the 1960s and 1970s. Additionally, politics have also influenced how the Black population is viewed in
Brazil by its government. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Afro-Brazilians were the leading race group to contract the virus and died from it at disproportionate rates, per NACLA."
