Thanks so much, let's get to the video.
- Neutral
About: combat stereotypes about people from the periphery
There is a stereotype about what is expected of someone from the periphery, and I want to talk about the two things and separate them.
- Neutral
About: recognize white privilege in Brazil
And there is the privilege of being white in Brazil.
Let's talk about the stereotype?
- Neutral
Desconhecido
About: recognize the seriousness of racism
So you recognize that racism is a dangerous thing.
About: recognize the seriousness of racism
Yes, and let me talk about both things.
Let's talk about the stereotype.
- Neutral
About: combat stereotypes about people from the periphery
I've heard it — I remember when I was in the PDT and a woman leader, it hurt me a lot, turned and said, 'But Tabata wasn't born poor, look how she eats properly.'
- Neutral
About: combat stereotypes about people from the periphery
Just as I've heard, 'No, I'm not from the periphery, because I don't wear oversized T-shirts, I don't wear a chain, or whatever.'
- Neutral
About: combat stereotypes about people from the periphery
That's a stereotype.
Desconhecido
'She's not poor, she has beautiful hair' — that's racism.
No, no, no, let's separate the two things, let me finish here because this is very important, please.
There is a stereotype.
- Neutral
About: combat stereotypes about people from the periphery
That someone from the periphery has to wear T-shirts a certain way, wear a chain, or listen to a particular kind of music.
- Neutral
About: combat stereotypes about people from the periphery
There are all kinds of people from the periphery.
Just like there are people like me who wear flats and a shirt and go like that because that's how it always was for church.
There are all kinds of people from the periphery.
This is the stereotype.
This is from people who don't know.
So, I think that's one thing.
- Neutral
About: combat structural racism
There's the other thing, which is structural racism.
Which is you.
- Neutral
About: recognize structural racism and its link to poverty
Yes, in Brazil... This racism is so old and so deeply rooted that, yes, it's much more likely that someone who was born poor, who has faced what I experienced, is black.
But I'll go further.
- Neutral
About: recognize white privilege in Brazil
I also acknowledge that having been born white, I had many more opportunities, probably, statistically, than I would have had if I had been born black.
And I want to separate these two things because they lead me to different reflections.
About: combat structural racism
Here... it's understanding that if I had and have privilege for being white, it's my job, it's my mission to learn about it and fight every day to reverse it.
About: expand affirmative action policies in education
As I'm trying to do in the National Education Plan, when we look at the issue of racism, as we do with the quota law, of which I had the joy of being one of the authors now in the expansion, it's the daily struggle to combat racism.
About: combat structural racism
That's one thing, and here I have full responsibility.
About: recognize political and religious diversity among people from the periphery
But in this issue of the stereotype... it's about seeing the prejudice that exists on the left and understanding that yes, there are progressive people from the periphery who are Catholic, who are Christian, who are evangelical.
- Neutral
About: combat stereotypes about people from the periphery
There are people from the periphery who maybe don't listen to rap every day.
I'm more into sertanejo and forró because of my Northeastern background.
- Neutral
About: combat stereotypes about people from the periphery
It's understanding that some people from the periphery dress one way, others dress another.
Do you get what I'm getting at here?
About: increase political representation of people from the periphery
Because otherwise it ends up seeming... That's it: as long as the left is thought of only by elites, only one type of person from the periphery fits.
About: increase political representation of people from the periphery
And it's very funny that the people they choose to represent the periphery often don't understand anything about the periphery.
