>While "branqueamento" was an actual policy back then, it clearly fucking failed, because not only it did not created more Whites, it created Pardo people
Brazilian pardos are much whiter than mestizos reasonably so
They are 65% european in average
If we look at brasil
As it is the case with most of LATAM
There was some relatively clear direction of policy in which by having a patriarchal mentality it was ponderated and primated that the european males had to fuck the nonwhite females to inherit the offspring their consciousness and culture which they were to impose in them
It was always a relation of submission and you need to see the world as people saw it back then to understand the intrincansies.
When you are speaking someone else language, using their first names, their surnames, adopting their customs, adopting their gods, and giving them access to your women.
Younare being put in a relation of docility.
You are "bearing" their image and reproducing that which traces back to them and is more authentic in them
This is how patriarchal societies (whixh iberian were) saw the world.
And brazil is no exception
The "african" and "native" was downplayed and erased
They had to "bear" the portuguese culture, customs, etc
They took forcedly the female role in the relation, one in which they bore the culture of the dominant male.
