Women live longer than men, so you have to include that factor.
The list at Dienekes does that ("15-64 age") and the result is that the men overweigh a bit ("UK 1.02") in the UK.

The women in Brazil, the gratest majority, is very ugly and very disgusting. Huh? I have probably seen thousands of Brazilian tourists, and there is definitely selection among the 'Whitest' (after all, only the very wealthy can afford to travel to other continents). Brazilian women, even those who are mixed, are among the most attractive in the world. I don't know exactly what it is, but I suspect it is the Iberian genes mixed with a little Native American and in some cases Germanic. The combination produces a type with very soft, smooth skin, somewhat dark, and very fine, gracile features, generally lacking Dinaricization. Brazilian women tend to be much thinner than American women, and are very, very feminine.

Brazilian tourists only represent the Brazilian middle upper class people, for example Brazil has a pretty high black population that don't look much different from Capo Verdian blacks, however in Europe and in the US you won't find that many black Brazilians tourists because most blacks are poor and can't afford to travel to other countries. Mixed-race Brazilians from the middle class also do not represent the average mixed-race Brazilians, because the middle-class mestiços are very likely to have some recent European ancestry, like for example in São Paulo a lot of second and third generation Italians mixed with the mixed-race people, resulting in "lighter" mixed-race people. Check it out this site to see what average Brazilian women look like: brazilintro.com/gallery1/gallery1.htmlmost of them look quite ugly

I wonder how many American men actually mail order some of those women. In some ways I feel sorry for these women but the feminist are getting exactly what they asked for.

Dude! This is some seriously funny shit!!!! I'm laughing my ass off!!! Where (or how) did you find this website, Necro? I knew this kind of stuff existed here, and that we "exported" women to all over the world, but I had never seen it myself before. And just another input from a brazilian on the whole "are brazilians white?" subject: Statistics don`t mean anything here, things are really complicated, you have to come and see it yourself. Don't rely on census numbers. According to IBGE (research institute) we don't have any gypsies here either...

The thing about Brazil is that most "whites" are at least a little bit mixed. I mean, more mixed then whites elsewhere. But even so, they still costitute a social group that identifies itself as "white" and their phenotypes are much more white than anything else. So it's kind of hard to stablish the dividing line where people stop being white and start being "mixed", "mestizo", "mulatto" or whatever. I mean, you can use genes for instance. But that creates a few problems, for instance, a guy is, say, genetically 10% black, but looks completely white (common thing here), has been raised as white and the black ancestors are distant and unknown. Is he a mulatto? At the same time, another guy is also 10% black but it actually shows in him, and his family actually considers itself to be mixed. Can he be white? I mean, both of them are 10% black. Then, if one has to be 100% genetically European in order to be white, you won't find that many white people anywhere in the world outside of Iceland and the west coast of Ireland. So how many percent of non white genes can a white person have? The anwer is completely subjective. if you use on the other hand, phenotype, you'll get a bunch of white people having mulatto looking children and vice versa. And then dark Europeans with curly hair could be mistaken for light mulattoes. As it's been discussed on the topic about Mexico, in Latin America dark skin is associated with mixed race people, even when the person looks and is actually European. So, if you use phenotype, how can you discriminate between "mixed looking" and actually mixed traits. Also, when it's indian blood that's in the mix, when it's not that high it's very hard to detect. A white person with 1 indian grandparent for instance will most likely look white, and any amerindian traits won't be anything that you can't find in Europeans.
So, anyway, in a country like Brazil, classifying race in an objective manner is almost impossible, so it's true that you can't really trust the official statistics, but at the same time you don't have anything else that you actually can trust. And it's also really hard to even stablish a method to start a "good" research on that.
Anyway, race in Brazil is a complicated subject and apart from the "social race" thing, it's almost impossible to actually say how many % we have of each race.
