| Resumo: | This research investigates the fight against racial discrimination in Brazil based on institutionalpractices, in particular the “report on the handling of racial crimes in the state of Paraná,” prepared by the Working Group on Ethnorracial Policies of the Union Public Defensorship in partnership with the Human Rights and Citizenship Commission of the Legislative Assembly of Paraná. From this report, this study aims to evaluate the (in) effectiveness of the repressive measures proposed by Brazilian Law, based on the concepts of institutional racism and structural racism discussed by Silvio Luiz de Almeida. The lackof effectiveness and institutional preparation in attending, investigating, and processingracial crimes in Paraná reflects a Law that consistently maintains white privilege to thedetriment of facing racism as a systemic social, historical, and political process. This studyis guided by the Critical Race Theory, recognizing the importance of the race criterion in reflections on Brazilian Law and, consequently, in confronting its supposedly universal and neutral character. |
