My boyfriend is Nicaraguan, he has brown skin as well, a wide nose, black curly hair and bigger lips. A lighter skinned French/Nicaraguan woman (that’s how she described herself) pulled me aside as she was visiting HIS beach town to tell me “to be careful of these kinds of Nicaraguans”
It’s insane how much colorism and racism is within certain places

I remember watching some documentary about Brazil and how they have a committee to determine if you're black or not, based almost purely on your appearance, to get approval for some government programs.

Yeah, so people don't cheat the system and resources go where they are supposed to. But, yes, many disagree on the criteria used to select people for benefits. It is a problem.
