Description

Two little girls playing in the park in Rio de Janeiro (RJ). Brazil is a country of mixed-bloods and the latest Brazilian population census suggests an increase in racial intermixture, yet the issue of color was self-declared by the respondants. Nevertheless, a "bleaching" process has been occurring whereby the numbers of whites and browns have increased at the expense of the blacks.Garotas, mulata e morena, brincando no parque no Rio de Janeiro (RJ).
