Wow
Racially inflamatory, poorly-cited, poorly-worded article making vague claims and violating NPOV. 70.127.17.241 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 03:52, 9 January 2020 (UTC)

Merge Discussion
Before this can be merged I think that before this page can be merged it needs to have reliable sources that prove this word actually exists and is the correct meaning. It needs to pass WP:V. Personally have only found one source, which doesn't really seem to conform to WP:RS. Tiptoety 02:08, 2 November 2007 (UTC)


 * This is pseudo-science; the black "blood" not "clearing" with white "blood"!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.71.5.238 (talk) 13:07, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Rage against this article
This article is both ridiculous and unnecessary. A lot (about 50 percent) of Brazilians these days are black/mulatto. Maybe the percentage of black Brazilians was higher 150-200 years ago, but it's still high. And Theodore Roosevelt was an idiot for saying that blacks are disappearing in Brazil. And most white Brazilians are dark (i.e. olive or tan) anyways. They don't look like the stereotypical Anglo-American.

Wanna know why the percentage of black Brazilians was getting smaller? There's only one answer.

IMMIGRATION!!! Many white Brazilians have no origin in Portugal. It's like saying all white Americans come from England. It's not true! That is why this article should be deleted.

BTW, not all black Brazilians live in poor conditions. There are plenty of successful black and mulatto Brazilians, as well as many unsuccessful white Brazilians. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Onetuc (talk • contribs) 21:36, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

it is definitely not unnecessary. Just like slavery in North America and the killing and torturing of thousands of people during the Spanish Inquisition, it is something that happened and cannot be disregarded. It is very ignorant of you to come and attack a perfectly educational article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.209.34.12 (talk) 02:31, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

Brazil has different standards. Obama would not be viewed as black in Brazil but rather as a mulatto [which he is but in the US he is seen as black]. A 100% Bantu looking person is black. On the other hand standards are loose for "White people" in Brazil, a good percent of "whites" in Brazil would be seen as brown in the USA, since they are part native or black and it shows. Only a small % of Brazilians white or black have no recent ancestors of another race.. 107.222.205.242 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 22:05, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

Colorism?
At this point, I would expect the issue of whitening is well beyond early colonial opinions. However, it might be enlightening to add discussion about the persistence of colorism within the dark-skinned populations of various countries. Pkeets (talk) 05:00, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

Rename to ethnic whitening‽
Whitening (embranquecimento) also applies to cultural whitening, not just raciality. And since ethnicity includes both (ethno)culture and (ethno)race-ness, ethnical whitening could encompass them. Kautr (talk) 04:05, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
