My cousin has stark white skin and blue eyes, and frizzy blond hair. Both his parents are black. This happens a lot more than people realize.

Yes, adoption does happen

It's not adoption you prick.

He has the facial features of his parents, and allergies, not to mention he came out of the womb this color.

Also, here's another case:

You must be from USA, that country is full of mixed race people. Real black people, like me, all have dark skin.

There are a lot of light skin color Africans, so idk wtf you mean by "real black people"

Africatino?

She is asian mixed with another race/ethinicy.
Her name is Laura Matsuda. Matsuda is a japanese last name.
The majority of Brazilians are mixed and do have ancestry from African countries, Portugal, Germany, Italy, Holland, Spain, Japan, Korea, China, Middle East and Native Brazilians... just to name some more common examples.

A lot of people from the region where I live are of Italian descent, me included, for example, and one single brazilian can have ancestry from more than one place. One, two, three, four differentes ancestries on one single person, there are no rules.

Brazil is a big country, so it depends on the region where you are.
One single brazilian can have ancestry from more than one place.

Japanese mixed people are not uncommon if you know where to look, because Brazil is home to the largest Japanese population outside of Japan.


About the discussions (I'm not talking about the topic creator) about our skin colors and ancestry, please people, do some research before saying anything. I know that all of you don't have any obligation to know anything about brazilian people, but if you are going to talk about us, at least know something about what are you saying.

Thank you very much (and sorry for any english mistakes).

Laura is a latina as she is from Brazil, but is that name normal for a girl from Brazil as the name sounds English?

Laura is a normal name in Brazil.
Her name is Laura Matsuda. Matsuda is a japanese last name, and in Brazil there are people of japanese descent.

This is true of basically true of every ethnicity in any country, even if its like single digits. This game is a work of fiction, they can do what they want with their version of Earth.

I know that (Rainbow Mika for example is a blonde japanese character and no one knows if it's the real hair color or not), but as you can see here, because of Laura a lot of people are talking and having discussions (I've seeing this on YT and even Neogaf) about what brazilians are in the real world, asking questions about the country (for example "Is Matsuda even a brazilian name?" as I did see people asking on YT) and things like that (and it's pretty annoying to see some people making incorrect assumptions about us), so I'm just clearing things once for all about "what a brazilian is" in the real world.
No one is better to talk about brazilians than a brazilian.

Hope you understand what I'm trying to say.

Cheers.

Thank you for the information! Your posts were very informative, I didn't know that Japanese mixes were common in certain regions of Brazil :D

I think she may invoke the weird Ambiguously Brown trope.
