Honest question, no joke: Why are Americans so obsessed with race? How did a racial reading of events became that relevant? I didn't usually see that being such a focus around here, and most of the influences that intellectualized it are... Americans.

I don't know if this was joking or not but i actually never thought about how homogeneous most places really are. I mean, i'm Brazilian, around here you kinda expect everyone to be mixed.

that book about Brazil from Updike suggests people are a little weird about race in Brazil but maybe that was just updike

There is some weird colorism stuff, and there has been a recent uptick in racial discourse, but i really don't think it's as prevalent or divided as from what i see in the US. However there are some regions with more pronounced problems in that sense.

I feel like a lot of brazilian tension is more between the divide of rich/poor than a racial one.
