Aside from the states of Bahia and Rio de Janeiro, Black people like Vini JR are relatively uncommon in Brazil.
This clip is a promotional video for an automotive event called Soukoukai, which takes place in São Paulo. Whites are quite rare in São Paulo, and they generally do not attend events like this. As Blacks, they are not as rare as true whites in São Paulo, but there are significantly fewer of them compared to brown and light-skinned brown Brazilians, that's why you'll perceive many more light-brown and light-skinned individuals compared to Black, creating the impression that Blacks are excluded or underrepresented, when in reality, there are very few of them.
In a classroom of 30 people in a middle-class school in São Paulo, you might find 16 browns, 8 light skin browns, 3 white-passing browns, 2 blacks, and 1 white.
>Isn't it essential to have Black and White representation in Brazilian media like this?
No, and the media often considers some brown Brazilians to be Black, even though many of them may be 60% to 70% European in ancestry. So, a dark brown person can fit the role of Black representation. For example, I searched for 'famous Brazilian Black actress,' and the result was this woman in the picrel, Adriana Lessa. The media considers her a Black woman, when in reality, she's a brown woman
