I just got done reading The Masters and the Slaves. Freyre does not use the term "Racial Democracy" anywhere in this book. Some of the ideas are there, but the phrase is not. I'd love for someone to prove me wrong--provide a page number If I am. I have seen him use the term in another book. In The Mansions and the shanties (Sobrados e mucambos): the making of modern Brazil,[Translated by Harriet de Onís; New York, Knopf, 1963], Freyre writes "'Brazil is becoming more and more a racial democracy, characterized by an almost unique combination of diversity and unity."
