With a population that is 6.84 black, and 0.02% muslim, I can see where it might be a country to be emulated.

Are you quoting a recent breakdown? I've seen them where 85% plus of the population claim "Brasilian" ancestry, which is a little of everything.

I've met many Brasilians, but at least half of them had some black ancestry. I've met the descendants of Cabral, which was pretty cool.
