Racial discrimination is a social practice that has historical origins in Brazil. Its presence is naturalized in the school space due to the structural racism of Brazilian society. This article seeks to answer the following question: How do teachers act when facing situations of racial discrimination? The answer to this question is inspired by pragmatic sociology, which provided theoretical and methodological support for a sociological ethnography, collecting narratives from teachers in the form of interviews on teaching practices in the face of real situations in which racial identity is mobilized. In addition to confirming the difficulty of teachers to deal with racism as a reflection of Brazilian society, the data revealed that investment in teacher training is more productive when teachers have good working conditions.

Keywords : RACIAL DISCRIMINATION; RACISM; TEACHER BEHAVIOUR; SOCIOLOGY.
