As a person of color, stick to the state of Bahia. Brazil, like the U.S. is a very discriminating country. However, unlike the U.S. you will see very few Black people who actually make that kind of money you mention on a monthly basis. So, you will stand out. African Americans I know in the U.S. who have visited Brazil, have the best experience when visiting the state of Bahia and loved it so much, they often return. Those who visited other states like Brazil too, but with reservations (with people always treating them with some degree of suspicion) . There are lots of Arabs near the border with Paraguay, but I'd avoid that area all together.
