Triracial

After 17:00 this 1st of June of 2025, I was at sunny Tim Hortons café here on Lulu Island to enjoy an Iced Classic Lemonade and a Turkey Bacon Club Artisan Sandwich. My friend Gustavo's all-Brazilian foursome family arrived to buy donut holes. He and his wife have two young girls. All four family members seem triracial: white, red, and black. But they all look very much predominantly white. I mentioned to myself that Brazil is a much whiter country than my homeland, the Philippines. "Tudo bem!" in Portuguese I exclaimed (All good!).

Allen has an Afro-Caribbean mom and Chinese-Greek dad, making him triracial.

Within the Latin American triracial system, a great emphasis is placed on color gradations, phenotype, and class status when bestowing racial status, according to whether such factors closely approximate a notion of whiteness.
