Brunette Mulatto Girl Reveals On The Beach Under Palm Trees

Brazil
According to the IBGE 2000 census, 38.5% of Brazilians identified themselves as pardo, i.e. of mixed ancestry. This figure not only includes mulatto people but also includes other multiracial people such as people who have European and Amerindian ancestry (called caboclos). A majority of mixed-race Brazilians have all three origins: European, African, and Amerindian ancestry. According to the IBGE census 2006 even 42.6% of the Brazilians have identified themselves as pardo.
The term mulatto (mulato in Portuguese) does not carry a racist connotation and is used along with other terms like moreno, light-moreno and dark-moreno. These focus more on the skin color than on the ethnicity, although they can refer to hair color alone - e.g. "light-moreno" would be "caucasian brunette". Such terms are also used for other multiracial people in Brazil, and they are the popular terms for the pardo skin color used on the 2000 official census.
