The following statements were made in a quiz about racism in Brazil. Which of them is FALSE?
The Brazilian population is predominantly white. The Golden Law ended racial inequality in Brazil. In the colonial period, the black and indigenous population outnumbered the white population in Brazil. The contributions of blacks and indigenous people in the history of our country are portrayed adequately, without any erasure. Science, through scientific racism, attributed an inferior condition to black people and kept them away from the condition of human beings. Scientific racism sustained an almost obsessive search for the pure race. The scientific racism endorsed the idea that it was necessary to mix races to promote the purity of the species. The policy of whitening the population was a state policy that aimed at seeking aesthetic and cultural lightening so that blacks and mestizos could be socially accepted. The myth of racial democracy is associated with the idea of a harmonious relationship between whites and blacks, built from miscegenation, omitting the existence of any racial conflict. Being white, in a racist society like Brazilian society, means occupying a privileged place that is not confused with the privileges arising from social status, but rather privileges that are solely due to being identified as a white person.
