What is considered “mixed” by Brazilian standards is considered Black in the rest of the world, and what is considered “white” is considered mixed.

what’s the two random spots with no less nor more than 40-59% black population?

So are there no places where black people are the plurality outside of one spot in I think Bahia where they’re 40% of the population?

Curious how would it look like if we correalate it with the homicide rate

One important thing to note is that this map shows the largest ethnic group per municipality, not the actual distribution of Black Brazilians.
Brazil has one of the largest Black populations outside Africa (around half of the country identifies as Black or mixed), but because the population is extremely mixed, Black Brazilians rarely form an absolute majority in most municipalities.
This is why the map may give the false impression that Black people are rare or geographically limited, which is not true at all.

I read once in Mexico there is a hierarchy for race. The most popular actors are light skinned.

those white pockets in the northeast are regions where you will find what we locals (from the Sertão) as „Galegos do Sertão“, galegos is slang for blonde people

This statistic is based on people’s self-identification. That means a person of any race can call themselves white (Ronaldo, Neymar before 2020), and anyone can call themselves mixed. Because of a deep-rooted Brazilian complex and the rejection of black identity (for reasons that are unclear), most Brazilians try to “whiten” themselves. As a result, the real numbers of whites and blacks in Brazil are completely different.

Since most is „mixed“ and it is a racial not an ethnic map it’s nearly useless

ive heard that even brazilians siblings sometimes identify themselves as different races because their complexion is slightly different. their definition of race is certainly different from the American one.

60% of those “mixed” are visibly black-presenting btw

I analysed the 2010 census a while ago. I’m sharing it in case anyo, local data is relatively similar (slightly more mixed, slightly less white now).
The highest percentages were:
White: 99.58% in Boa Vista do Sul (RS). 223 municipalities had a white population of over 90%.
Mixed: 90.82% in São João da Ponta (PA). The only other municipality with a population that was more than 90% mixed was Jardim de Angicos (RN), at 90.42%.
Black: 55.11% in Antônio Cardoso (BA). The only other municipality where blacks were the largest group was Lajeado (TO) with 49.24%. All municipalities with over 32% black people have at least 40% mixed-race people.
Yellow: 12.8% in Curral Novo do Piauí (PI). Only five municipalities had a yellow population of over 10%.
Indigenous: 88.56% in Uiramutã (RR)*. This municipality also had the lowest percentage of white people (0.67%). Indigenous people were the largest group in 15 municipalities.
Volta Grande (MG) had the most equal population distribution. Approximately one third of the population was white, one third was black and one third was mixed. This is rare because black people usually live in municipalities with
The least diverse municipalities were Cunhataí (SC), Nova Candelária (RS) and Montauri (RS). They had no black, yellow or indigenous people. Over 98% of the population were white and under 2% were mixed.
White people and mixed-race people exist in every single municipality in different percentages. Three municipalities had zero black people (the three named above). 190 municipalities had no people of Asian ethnicity. 2,347 municipalities had no indigenous people (almost half of the country).
