Brazilian Indifference to Racial Inequality in the Labor Market

Statistical data show that the perverse inequality between blacks and whites in the Brazilian labor market has not caused the society to develop and implement concrete proposals to eliminate racism in Brazil. There are various explanations for this moral indifference. One element that is essential to any analysis of it is that Brazilians have been socialized by images disseminated by the mass media that prevent blacks from being considered ordinary citizens or even human beings.

Key Words: Labor market • blacks • racial discrimination • socialization • moral indifference
