I really don't understand your argument, are you saying that in another 100 years the south of Brazil will be very mixed?
I'd like to add that throughout history Sicily as well as southern Spain has been aligned much closer North Africa and the East than to Northern Europe. A few years back an Italian movie/documentary (pane e cioccolata) described how well those Southern Italian immigrants were "assimilated" to countries like Switzerland.
I still contend that the viral religious influence fueled racial paranoia in the US, whereas in Latin countries that was not the case.
I just said that the real occupation of this area just started 100 years ago by European immigrants… and the southern is still very white and unmixed. I don’t know if in 100 years they will get mixed, it is possible because immigration, but there are ton of racist there, some of them want to separate the southern of the rest of Brazil because their culture is different than the others areas of Brazil and them don’t want to mix...

Won't happen, there are local subcultures all over Brazil, no reason for independence, nor will attitude keep migrants and immigrants away. Nor are most people there racist in the first place.

Yes, I agree with you and I hope so, I like Brazil as large country, I don’t think that it will happen, but there are some peoples that want to do, anyway I think they are minority.
I think it's a good thing that Brazil is so diverse with many racially-mixed people. I know there is still prejudice based on skin colour there, but I'm wondering, assuming the Spaniards and Portuguese were as racist as the early American colonists, why did America pursue a policy of segregation, while in Latin America intermarriage between natives, Europeans and later black slaves was common and even promoted? Was it to 'breed out' the Indians, as what the government tried to do in Australia with our Aborigines? The settlers in the US, in contrast, just wanted to herd off the Indians to small reservations or outright kill them. Is 'racial purity' more of an Anglo-Saxon rather than a Hispanic thing?
Why was racial segregation in the US South so extreme during the Jim Crow era? Like blacks not allowed to marry whites, many black men hanged for being with white women. Other nations with a colonial past, presumably also pretty racist, never took things that far.
Trimac,
You have a non-healthy fixation on ethnicities and race.

Like many others on here. A lot of city-data users seem anti-White, although they ARE white. For Instance, a place with a high percentage of White people is often considered to be dull, boring, racist and "non-recommendable" on here.
Sorry, but I’m Brazilian and I don’t have any Black or indian ancestor in my family, all my grandparents emigrated from Europe in the first years of XX century, 3 of them came from Italy ( Sicilia and Veneto) and one from Spain (Galiza)… In 1920, nearly 80% of São Paulo city's population was composed of immigrants and their descendants, check this (São Paulo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia). You need understand that Blacks slaves were directed to colonial city in Brazil as Salvador and Rio de Janeiro… São Paulo and southern of Brazil was almost uninhabited in that time. You forget that italian, german and japanese, for example, has more or less 100 years of immigration to Brazil, this is very short time to mix with everyone that you want. Go to university as mackenzie or FAAP in Sao Paulo, is almost impossible to find a black or a mestizzo there, and in southern Brazil there are entire white closed german speaking communities. Check Pomaroide city in Santa Catarina absolutely more than 90% full Germans. Check Holambra in São Paulo almost 100% is Dutch descendants. As I said you most of Brazil region is mixed but southern is exception, everyone know about this. If you don’t believe go there and check this. If you don’t go to real fates I would prefer don’t waste my time discussing about it… keep strong in your illusion… I just go to real fates.
In 1920, nearly 80% of São Paulo city's population was composed of immigrants and their descendants (yes, but nobody said that those descendants didn't have non-immigrant parents or grandparents as well).
40 years later, in 1960, an immense proportion of São Paulo city's population was composed of mixed-race internal migrants that came from the Northeast.
By that time (the 60's) many descendants (sons and daughters) of those European immigrants that lived in Sao Paulo have married with migrants from the Northeast.
Do you want an example?
Eliana Michaelichen Bezerra. Yes, Eliana, the famous TV hostess, of the SBT network.
Eliana has a Northeastern father, from Ceara, and a Russian-Ukrainian mother, from Parana.
José Bezerra, born in the city of Solonópole, in Ceara, came to São Paulo and met Eva Michaelichen (a descendant of Russians and Ukrainians immigrants), born in Irati, Parana. José and Eva, who first met in a family home where they both worked, got married, and Eliana was born in 1973 from this union.
I guess that you didn't know that the blonde, green-eyed, Eliana, had a "cearense" father, did you?
Sorry mate, but you are a RARE EXCEPTION, and most people in the South are mixed.
Is interesting that many people in this forum value our Catholic Heritage ; in comparison, with so many jingoistic Anglo-Saxons who suffer a delusion of grandeur and think that their religion, language or woman (that is joke =) ) are the best.

It's true, just because you used native women for sex doesn't prove you're not racist. Some of the most racist men indulged in this...in a way one could even see it as just another way they show their racism, treating these women as sex objects without the 'sanctity' of marriage.

That's the way most of history has gone anyway. Men conquer a new area. Kill off the other men. Take the local women. You notice this even from reading accounts of history say in the Old Testament.
If you look at the diversity of the human genome (across the human race in general) you actually find more genetic diversity in the maternal lines than the paternal lines, which implies a lot more men didn't get to leave their legacy relative to women.
This pattern shows up in places time and again, and people have traced paternal ancestries to "big men" perhaps kings and conquerors, anywhere from Niall of the Nine Hostages, to Genghis Khan, basically men who had a big shot at many women and at leaving lots of sons with lots of women.
