I always felt she some African ancestry. Not much but some. Hmmm
I don’t believe so. It is more likely for her to have Native Brazilian ancestry than African.
People from Rio Grande do sul are more native admix than SSA, but she could have some SSA
Brasil is not mexico, you rarely saw a mestizo brazilian but tri racials, just saying.
Not really. I’ve lived all my life in southern Brazil and I have seen more mestizos (European + Native) than properly triracial people.
Places like Pelotas people have more SSA than NATIVE admix
