What are the differences in how americans and brazilians construct their cultural taxonomy of race (classifications of a person's race)

Answer and Explanation:

The term "race" was used for the first time to refer to speakers of a common language and then to refer to national affiliations. By the 17th century, the term began to refer to physical (morphological) traits.

The  Institute of Geography and Statistics in Brazil, which has been conducting censuses in Brazil since 1940, ethnically categorizes the Brazilian population in five categories: Branco (white), Bardo (brown), Preto (black), Amarillo (yellow), and indigenous people. The 2010 Census in Brazil says, for the first time, the country has a non-white majority. For Americans, Brazil has always had a non-white majority. There is a saying that everyone has "one foot in ... science tells us that different cultures use different concepts of race to classify people."
