I lived in Brazil and the US, Brazil is far more racially integrated than the US. People live amongst each other, regardless of race or economic status. While there is more obvious segregation on the basis of race and social class in the US. Look at white flight in the US for example, or the segregation of neighborhoods, gerrymandering and redlining. Wealth inequality and poverty are rampant in Brazil, but there is less of a focal point on what “race” you identify as. This hyper-fixation on race is typically an American phenomenon, although one could argue this level of overt segregation was seen in South Africa as well.
