I learned that Brazil is the country outside Africa that has the largest Black population. After Nigeria, Brazil comes next as the country with the second-largest black population worldwide.
According to worldpopulationreview.com/countries/brazil-population, in 2022, Brazilians are asked to report whether they believe they are white, black, brown, yellow, or ‘indigenous’.
The results of the census indicated that 92 million (48%) Brazilians were white, 83 million (44%) were brown, 13 million (7%) were black, 1.1 million (0.50%) were yellow, and 536,000 (0.25%) were indigenous.
I think the brown and the black people are people of African descent – they are the people who are generally referred to as blacks. Hence they form the largest part of the Brazilian population.
