Brazilian cordial racism is a mannered, race-denying form of exclusion

Evidence

The Brazilian notion of racismo cordial provides a revealing conceptual summary of heterogeneity’s management of mixture, neoliberally licensed. The concept of “cordial racism” explicates exclusion or devaluation though in terms carefully and self-consciously race-neutral. It is, as raceless, a mannered racism, even exaggeratedly mannerist, civil to a fault, behavior by the book, racism knowingly in denial. — David Theo Goldberg, The Threat of Race, 1790
