Fair play to the Mexicans and the Argies, they didn't have many. Not entirely sure why though.

I think it didn't end in a divisive war the way it did in America. Apparently in Brazil the degree of "blackness" is determined by your wealth - black people can become "white" by becoming richer, and it can change over the course of your lifetime.
I know, I didn't understand that either.
