A reanalysis is made of the data obtained in two surveys in Brazil, regarding the inbreeding load of Whites and Negroes. It is shown that the differences detected are probably spurious, and mainly due to environmental factors. The “total” inbreeding load estimated for the pooled sample showed nonsignificant difference between Whites and Nonwhites.
