validity of reference negligible

The first reference (Brazilians Think Race Intefere on Quality of Life, but not Everyone is Concerned About Equality), which is quoted in the article, might not be a good source of information for statistics. The article does not cite where it gets its information from, and there are English mistakes throughout the article. I suggest removing the source and the information which uses it as a reference (or to find a reference which does clearly have valid information)Editfromwithout (talk) 21:14, 1 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed Edits:

For my edits, I hope to start off by providing some more context as to Brazil's demographics and the notion of the state of Brazil becoming a "racial democracy," which we have discussed in class. from there, I will be able to help fill some of the articles more alarming gaps, such as their statistical analysis, which I believe was a bit haphazard and sloppy. Additionally, I feel like the images and pictures could improve. Additionally, I lot of the information isn't properly cited, which I find a little suspect, so I will probably remove once I being to go more in-depth with the project.
