Brazilian and Caribbean Americans are Americans of Brazilian and Caribbean descent, who are often descended from African slaves. They are distinguished from Hispanics and Latinos, whose cultures are derived from that of Spain. While mostly Christian, many Brazilians and Caribbean Americans practice Afro-American religions, which incorporate elements of Christian, indigenous American, Spiritualist and even Islamic traditions. There are about 3 million people with Brazilian and Caribbean descent living in the United States, mostly in the states of California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York.
