        Brazilian is not a race. It is a nationality. Yes, there are white Brazilians just as there are black and mixed Brazilians. I recently listened to a interview with Alessandra, and she said that she is Italian and Polish. Why didn’t this site include that? Also, for a site about dedicated to ethnicity, it is ignorant in listing nationalities such as Brazilian, and other things as race.
