Answer 2

D. Racial categories were identified and enforced under apartheid in South Africa whereas the significance of racial inequality has consistently been denied in Brazil.

Explanation:

• Today, Brazil is home to more than 75 million African descent people, who are the second-largest black population  in the world at the moment. But it was also the last country in the west to abolish slavery, in spite of its large black population.
• Many Brazilians still believe that race in their country affects life. For decades, Brazil debates of injustice over the unequal association between race and class have largely been ignored. According to the study on racial democracy, any inequalities in wealth among white and non-white Brazilians have been expected to be due to the legacy of slavery and wider problems of inequity and economic mobility.
• Racial inequality is most evident from lower levels of education and wages in non-whites than in whites. The near lack of non-whites in the upper income class is the worst economic inequality. Because of the ongoing race issues in Brazil various studies of violence have taken place in the country and race played a role or was a major factor in these crimes.
