Brazil is a multicultural, vast, and diverse country. Although it was colonized by the Portuguese, African culture is very present in all sectors due to the legacy of slavery. Currently, with the social maintenance of some racist colonial structures that demean the black and hinder their identity structuring, it is noticed that such structures have been replicated in the school environment, which does not encourage the identification of children and young people with the black identity. Black movements have acted to try to mitigate the situation. Because of prejudice and structural racism, confusion has been generated around words used for ethnic-racial identification in research, such as, for example, in censuses. Words such as negro, black and pardo have generated different social reactions, at different levels. This reality is directly reflected in the demographic and school censuses, in which a large number of "undeclared" individuals are found, as a tactic to avoid racism. Data from recent years of the school census in the municipality of Camaçari- Bahia attracted our attention by the fact that they maintain divergent patterns from those obtained at the national, regional, and even state levels. The present work has the objective of analyzing such data from the school census of that municipality and presenting hypotheses about the possible reasons.
