The brazilian census has traditionally only had four racial categories: preto, branco, amarelo, and pardo. however, in everyday life, brazilians have many other racial categories, including moreno, mulato, neguinho, and pretinho. most of these terms don't have an equivalent in the united states.
what does this tell you?

a. race is a social construct.
b. brazil places more importance on symbolic ethnicity.
c. the united states is less diverse than brazil.
d. brazil has never used science to classify its population.
e. race doesn’t matter in brazil as much as it does in the united states.
