Later immigration, from 1908 on, was not so much influenced by that race discussions and Brazil attracted, besides Europeans, more immigrants from Lebanon, Syria and Japan, for example[citation needed].

The genome of the first generation offspring of European fathers and African mothers was 50% European and 50% African, but the distribution of the genes that affect visible features (skin colour, hair type, lip shape, nose shape) was random. [29], On July 28, 1921, representatives Andrade Bezerra and Cincinato Braga proposed a law whose Article 1 provided: "It is prohibited in Brazil immigration of individuals from the black race." Serra da Capivara National Park. It is commonplace to say that, in Brazil, "money whitens". [45] Figures for 1890 are available at the IBGE site.

Brancos, commonly referred as White Brazilians, are the ethnic majority in the country forming 47.73% of the country’s population. The German colony of São Leopoldo was a disaster. One possibility is the influence of race-based ideas from the second half of the 19th and early 20th centuries, which were based on theories of White superiority. Former nationals who wish to reacquire their Brazilian citizenship may do so by contacting the Consulate General of Brazil in Chicago in order to request reacquisition of nationality or reversal of the judicial act that has declared the loss of Brazilian nationality.

Because of their small number, the Amerindian and Asian population were counted together and they had a higher proportion in Mato Grosso and Roraima (2.3%) and a lower proportion in Paraíba (0.1%). [57]:47 Most of these 28 wider categories can be situated in the White-Black continuum when the answers to the open-ended question are compared to the answers in the IBGE format: The other categories, except, naturally, for "amarela" (Yellow) seem related to Amerindian "race": The remarkable difference of the popular system is the use of the term "moreno".

The Southern region had a greater impact of the European immigration and has a large White majority, which contrasts with the Northern and Northeastern regions, which have a large Pardo (mixed-race) majority. According to the 2007 PNAD, White workers wages were almost twice those of Blacks and "pardos". [53]: More recently, the term "afrodescendente" has been brought into use.[55]. So, besides a dispute "immigrantists" and "anti-immigrantists", there was also a debate between pro-Chinese and pro-European immigrantists; the latter also were divided between those, like Nicolau Moreira, who defended not only European immigration, but also a land reform, so to attract immigrants as small farmers, and those[who?] On the maternal side, 39% have a European Mitochondrial DNA, 33% Amerindian and 28% African MtDNA. A 2015 autosomal genetic study, which also analysed data of 25 studies of 38 different Brazilian populations concluded that: European ancestry accounts for 62% of the heritage of the population, followed by the African (21%) and the Native American (17%). The Pardo (brown) proportion was higher in Amazonas (72.4%) and lower in Santa Catarina (9.4%). The vast majority of the immigrants came from Italy. [50]:4, According to the American scholar Edward Telles,[52] in Brazil there are three different systems related to "racial classification" along the White-Black continuum. [65] There is a persistent belief, both in academy and popularly, that Brazilians from the wealthier classes with darker phenotypes tend to see themselves and be seen by others in lighter categories. They were landed in Rio de Janeiro and sent to other regions. On October 23, in São Paulo, for instance, there were violent confrontations between the police and rioting Blacks, who chanted "long live freedom" and "death to the slaveowners".

On October 22, 1923, representative Fidélis Reis produced another project of law on the entry of immigrants, whose fifth article was as follows: 'It is prohibited the entry of settlers from the black race in Brazil and, to Asians, it will be allowed each year, a number equal to 5% of those existing in the country.(...)'. Their embracing of those new identitarian ideas, moreover, proved quite flexible, even opportunist: with the slowdown of Italian immigration since 1902 and the Prinetti Decree, Japanese immigration started in 1908, with any qualms about their typically non-European origins being quickly forgotten.

The illiteracy rate among white people over 15 years old was 6.1%. As Wilson do Nascimento Barbosa puts it, The collapse of slavery was the economic result of three conjugated movements: a) the end of the first industrial revolution (1760–1840) and the beginning of the so-called second industrial revolution (1880–1920); b) the lowering of the reproduction costs of the White man in Europe (1760–1860), due to the sanitary and pharmacological impact of the first industrial revolution; c) the rising costs of African Black slaves, due to the increasing reproduction costs of Black men in Africa.[21].

After initially settling in the government-promoted colonies, many of the Italian immigrants spread themselves into other areas of Rio Grande do Sul seeking further opportunities. As it was a far away region, very few African slaves were brought to this area[citation needed]. Native American ancestry is significant and present in all regions of Brazil.

In this work we analyzed the information content of 28 ancestry-informative SNPs into multiplexed panels using three parental population sources (African, Amerindian, and European) to infer the genetic admixture in an urban sample of the five Brazilian geopolitical regions. Many pages of Vianna's work were dedicated to the discussion of a "pure race" of white Brazilians. In the next five decades, other 28 thousand Germans were brought to Rio Grande do Sul to work as small farmers in the countryside. The Portuguese won the war.
