![]() In fact, it wasn’t so long ago when it was considered an insult to simply refer to someone as preto or negro, both of which mean black in Portuguese. Today’s racial environment in Brazil is a far cry from decades ago when black Brazilian families would simply ignore and not discuss episodes of racismthey regularly experienced. Since more and more Brazilians of visible African ancestry have come to accept a black identity and come to understand the subtle (and blatant) ways in which racism in Brazil plays out, whenever something considered racially offensive goes down, in this age of social media, tens of thousands of black Brazilians are quick to let people know how they feel. It’s actually been quite entertaining to watch the whole thing play out. In Brazil, whenever the issue of race comes up with people who consider themselves to be white, denial, defense and accusations of black Brazilians playing the role of victims automatically starts to kick in.

I mean, it’s just a reality show.Įven so, sometimes I swear, if you wanna understand how race plays out in Brazilian society, just watch a season of BBB. It’s pretty amazing how much this program is discussed in Brazilian society. “There is no positive attribution for that word”: Only black man on popular Big Brother Brasil reality show, actor Babu Santana schools colleagues on why he is black (preto) and not a negroĮven not being a fan or follower of the ever popular Globo television network reality show Big Brother Brasil, I gotta say there’s been plenty of interesting moments on the show in this latest season, particularly for a blog that analyzes Brazil from the perspective of race.
