Nonetheless, Brazilians frequently prefer the non-census terms <em>moreno<\/em> (brown) and <em>negro<\/em> (black), and both are core to antithetical ideologies: racial ambiguity versus racial affirmation. Their use may be in flux as <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Brazil\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Brazil<\/a> recently adopted unprecedented race-targeted public policy. We examine propensities to self-classify as <em>moreno<\/em> and <em>negro<\/em> before and after the policy shift. Using <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Linear_regression\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">regression modeling<\/a> on national survey data from 1995 and 2008 that captured self-classification in open and closed formats, we find <em>moreno<\/em> is highly salient but increasingly constricted, while <em>negro<\/em> is restricted in use, though increasingly popular. <em>Negro\u2019s<\/em> growth is mostly confined to the darker pole of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mixedracestudies.org\/?p=19063\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Brazil\u2019s color continuum<\/a>. Education correlates in opposing directions: negative with <em>moreno<\/em> and positive with <em>negro<\/em>.
