I'm mixed but kinda lightskinned, my skin tone is probably like mediterraneans
Yeah I gotcha but for the sake of the argument I consider those guys as white people, as they're white looking, even though they're not fully white ofc.
Point is, the whiter you are, the better. There's not enough "pure" white people in this country for all mutt foids but there's clearly a preference for white and white looking people.
The few truly white people though will have an elevated status here and they do for sure better than their mulatto/black counterparts. The reason? White people just look better on average, not a rule but they tend to, and the status you get from being white helps, as well as the euroccentric beauty standards (you see, as brazil is not a western country per se, at least actively, in practice we do as we consume and have all our culture in western roots)
as for thugs, I believe they score better than the average mutts but I rarely see ugly brown people banging stacies, it's mostly at best some average ethnic foid.
take yourself for instance, not trying to be mean but you have some brutal failos, the same traits in a black guy could be a death sentence but you can pull that off and look decent enough.
