Why is it masculine?

Brancos is masculine because it is a masculine adjective in Portuguese that follows the standard -o masculine ending. In Portuguese, adjectives ending in -o are typically masculine (with corresponding feminine forms in -a, like "branca"). This masculine gender was inherited from Latin through regular sound changes; Latin adjectives of the first/second declension (like those ending in -us) developed into Portuguese adjectives with -o endings for the masculine form.
