Racism in Brazil has been a major issue ever since the colonial era and the slave era imposed by Portuguese settlers, which led to a persistent marginalization of the black population in the country. The issue has been subject of intense debate over the years, with several government measures addressed to soften or eliminate the most intense gaps, such as affirmative actions in Universities and others.〔http://carassonet.org/Sergio/www.oindividuo.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/1997.12.03-Veja-Rio-Individuo-Polemico.jpg〕〔http://carassonet.org/Sergio/www.oindividuo.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/1997.11.20-PUC-Rio-A-Toda-A-Comunidade-Academica-da-PUC-Rio.jpg〕 On the other hand, since Brazil is a multicultural country, without any traces of a national-wide racial unity, having its population formed by immigration from several parts of the world, other ethnicities tend to suffer lesser levels of discrimination, if any. ==Research conducted== A research article published in 2011 indicated that 63.7% of Brazilians believe that race interferes with the quality of life. For the majority of the 15,000 interviewed, the difference between white people's life and nonwhite's is evident: At work: 59% In questions related to police justice: 68.3% In social relations: 65% Results conducted in 2008 supposedly show that people are not surprised about this differencealthough a large percentage of the population is black or has black ancestry, they represented no more than 8% of the 513 chosen representatives in the last election year. The salary of Whites in Brazil are, on average, 46% over the salary of Blacks. This difference might be explained by differences in education.〔(Brazilians Think Race on Quality of Life, but not Everyone is Concerned About Equality )〕 Of those earning less than minimum wage, 63% are Black and 34% are White. Of the richest Brazilians, 11% are Black and 85% are White. In a survey conducted in 2000, 93% of respondents acknowledged that there is racial prejudice in Brazil, but 87% of those same respondents claimed that they felt no racial prejudice. This indicates that Brazilians recognize that there is racial inequality, but prejudice and discrimination is still an extremely prevalent issue; it is seen as the remnants of slavery and the racially based casta system instituted by the Portuguese in colonial times. According to Ivanir dos Santos (the former Justice Ministry's specialist on race affairs), "There is a hierarchy of skin color where blacks, mix races and dark skinned people are expected to know their place in society."〔(Racial Inequality in Brazil )〕 A study on racial bias in teacher evaluations in Brazil found that Brazilian math teachers gave better grading assessments of white students than equally proficient and equivalently well-behaved black students.
