In this research we aimed to understand how children elaborate meanings about their ethnic-racial belonging and how they experience and trigger notions as racism, racial discrimination in their relations with other children and adults. The research was carried out with children from a public school located in Itapetinga, state of Bahia. We used a qualitative, descriptive and ethnographic approach (LÜDKE and ANDRÉ, 2013; AMADO, CRUSOÉ, VAZ-REBELO, 2017). Several children, while indicating the hegemonic patterns of beauty in our society, have expressed discourses and attitudes of denial of their ethnic-racial belonging, especially black children. However, this process of “capture” does not occur in full, since children react to the “symbolic privilege of whiteness” (BENTO, 2009).
