How white are non-white Brazilians?

Genetic analysis shows that, in Brazil, European ancestry is predominant, with proportions ranging from 60.6% in the Northeast to 77.7% in the South. In fact, black Brazilians have a much higher load of European ancestry than black Americans, while white Brazilians have a much higher load of Amerindian and African, than white Americans.
