Razib Khan Aug 2023 blog post- People In Brazil Are Quite “Mixed-Race”
#4
We must state a few things first: what is to be "white", "black" or "asian" I mean, how much non-african admixture I need to have to be considered black? 
Brasil is too big to be analyzed like this, the only way to  proper state admixture is doing it by regions, and that has been made already(I think). 
Now, if you need to be 90+% African to be considered black, then blacks are the minority alongside with every other ethinicity in Brazil. It is very hard to find a Brazilian with less than 10% of admixture, only people with recent migration and reach that number. 
"Pardo" or light to heavily mixed people are not conted in many statiscs, that is a political issue and they represent  easily at least 70% of the population. 
Now, to understand the Pardo phenomenon you must look at it as a spectrum. Pardos can be 70% european to 30%, they can be a mix of two or more races.

Here is what the Brazilian testing company "Genera" stated about Brazilian admixture:

In my opinion this map is wrong, but not so wrong. People in the north and northwest side of Brazil are the most native ones, their admixture is far greater than just 6-7%, while in the south one can easily reach 80-85% of european admixture. 
Something that I also want to add: specially for people that are more mixed, the biggest European ancestry in Brazil is always Iberian. You can find people in the northeast part that reach 80% of European Admixtture and all of that is Iberian. You can also see that happening in Rio de Janeiro.
People in Bahia can reach up to 70% of African admixture and Italian-Brazilians in São Paulo can reach to 80% of european admixture, just like in the southern region of Brazil
I think the only ethinicity that is less mixed are maybe Asians. 
It is important to note that Brazil has the biggest Japanese community outside Japan and the biggest Lebanese community outside Lebanon, that's why trying to look at the big picture in Brazil is wrong in my opinion and it must be made based on regions. 
That being said, all unmixed people in Brazil are minorities, whites and Asians being more common in my opinion.
