Are you just finding out "Brazilian", much like American or Canadian, is not a race and a huge part of Brazilian population is white? Do you have eyes? He is visibly white.
Being classified as white depends on region in some parts of the world.

In the U.S. if a pale maybe even albino looking person says they're Mexican, Dominican or Brazilian they are still not considered white. Xenophobia is a better umbrella term to describe a general sentiment of lack of interest towards Gabriel when due to country of origin, but racism is not disqualified.

By LatAm standars, he is very white (passing in case he’s not)

The race of someone does not change just because Americans don't know what race means.

And that's not even true. No one in the US disputes Gisele Bundchen is white. Or Alexis Bledel is white. Or Anya Taylor-Joy is white. Or Cameron Diaz is white. And we could go on and on. All of those people are Latino, You guys are just very limited and perceive race based on someone's name and how they're marketed to you. If Gabriel Drummond had an Anglo/German sounding name y'all would know what everyone else with eyes know, that he is as white as his boyfriend race-wise. And that he isn't a potential victim of racism but xenophobia.

He is absolutely "white passing" by US "we don't know what race means" standards (and he is white). By LatAm standards he is unquestionably white.

Anyway, enough off topic talk. Hope Americans have learned some new info going forward! Now where are the nudes?

For some of those listed, like Anya Taylor Joy, yes there are US citizens that will dispute whether or not the person is white based off of their country of origin.

To be clear, I'm not speaking of my personal opinion when I say this.

I'm mentioning this to bring to light that the notion of race is a social construct where the classification criteria is dependent on who is classifying the individual. In the US, it's a different criteria than just appearance. Yes, white passing exists here, however country of origin matters. You can think of it as the effect of being "outed" in terms of the negative social effects that follow.

Anyway, both points can exist at the same time. As I had previously stated, the umbrella term xenophobia best describes a lowered interest in Gabriel when his country of origin is mentioned, but US racial dynamics are still a factor.

Additionally, I'm not quite sure why you were so heated by this discussion but yes. Let's get back to the updates.

Race is a social construct. “Brazilian” is not a race under any social construct. You guys just normalized not knowing what race means in the most basic sense.
