Social Sciences - Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc. / população
Portuguese term or phrase: pardos
No Brasil há um termo ultrapassado e infeliz, ainda usado no recenseamento populacional, pelos órgãos que despacham documentos, pelas forças armadas etc. para "definir" os mestiços com pele mais clara que os negros e mais escura que os brancos, em geral originários da mistura do branco com índio, do branco com negro e por aí vai.
Como eu poderia traduzir para o francês da FRANÇA? Métis "tout simplement", sem fazer referência a que tipo de mestiçagem (pois no Brasil o no. de mestiços é muito grande e abrange todas as etnias)? "Bruns"? "Mulâtres" (não gosto muito dessa palavra, mas vi no Google que parece ser bastante utilizada, além disso também é muito restritiva a um grupo de mestiços)?
Obrigada desde já

"Le peuple brésilien est formé de trois groupes ethniques : les Européens, les Africains et les Amérindiens ou Indiens. Les appellations courantes de ces différentes origines sont souvent relatives à la couleur de la peau : les Blancs, les Noirs et les Métis. " (in http://guides.tangka.com/bresil/Chapt3Sub10.htm)
