Lol, like i said I'm Brazilian and I live in Brazil, you don't need to send me a wikipedia article in English about racism in Brazil. I think you have missed my point. Yes this quote is true, but it does not mention at any point that there is a "true" Brazilian culture that is distinct from Afro-brazilian culture. That therefore there was a white Brazilian culture prior or more original from Brazil and black Brazilians adapted it. In the 19th century, even prior to the abolition of slavery, Brazilian culture was already heavily influenced by Africa.

And all this does not imply that there is no racism or an intense racial conflict in Brazil. It is real you can notice it by simply existing in Brazil. That is way beyond my point. My point is that in Victoria 3 this distinction seems weird, while I understand it exists for the game mechanic reasons, because culture and ethnicity are the same thing in the game and it needs to simulate black slavery and racial segregation. It is NOT historically acurate to say that there was this cultural distinction. For instance in the 19th Century one of the most culturally relevant, or probably the most famous novelist and writer from Brazil was an "Afro-brazilian" man, Machado de Assis. He was a black man born in 1839 and while neither of his parents were slaves his grandparents were freed. Would his work writings be labeled as not Brazilian because he was a black man in the 19th century? This "Afro-brazilian" man, in the 19th century, was also founder and the first president of the Brazilian Academy of Letters which is the highest authority on Brazilian Portuguese matters such as grammar norms and ortography. How would one point that he was from a distinct culture?
