The racist ideology of traditional, ruling-class Brazilian nationalism, which denies the existence of racial divisions, is inherently anti-Black. For example, in 2020 the Federal Government of Brazil revoked affirmative action programs for graduate degrees in universities. These anti-black ideologies also influence linguistics in Brazil. In the twenty-first century, one of the high-profile representatives of this initiative is the Educated Urban Linguistic Norm Project that chose the urban speaker, who is mostly white, as the norm for all the speakers. Similarly, a series of daily online lectures hosted by ABRALIN, the national professional association for linguistics, beginning in May 2020, was without Black Brazilian speakers over the first month and a half of the schedule. In this work we seek to provoke discussions towards rethinking the role of whiteness in Brazilian linguistics moving from the Black-as-theme to Black-as-life framework
