Asian Brazilians (Portuguese: brasileiros asiáticos) are Brazilian citizens or residents of full or predominantly East Asian or Southeast Asian ancestry. People of West Asian and South Asian origin are generally not included, as the Brazilian census uses the term "yellow" (amarelo in Portuguese) to refer to such people. Currently there are about 3 million Brazilians with East Asian or Southeast Asian origin who represent about 2% of the Brazilian population.

It seems Brazil is the 2nd most diverse place after USA, I guess this factor pulls me into Brazil. Also I find Brazilian + East Asian mixes so cute & hot, sometimes I wish I was (East)Asian-Brazilian mix too because of this

Especially Ana Hikari & Leia(the member of the K-Pop girl group "Blackswan") are my queens


Leia(Larissa Ayumi Cartes Sakata) of "Blackswan", she is half Brazilian(mom) half Japanese(dad) from Curitiba, Parana, Brazil
