Abstract
Brazil is going through singular moment in the international migration's panorama. Unlike the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, when there was a national project to be built and came here European migrants, are entering the country people from different nations, among them, from Haiti. Our goal is to analyze the speeches expressed in different media and on social networks Facebook and Twitter regarding the presence of Haitians in Brazil between 2010 and 2015. Significantly black migration in a country where levels of racial inequality are alarming, may motivate xenophobia and discrimination against foreigners? We observe that yes, given the speeches raised in the media and social networks. We must question whether it is exclusively the fact of being a foreigner that bother or if the nuisance arises because the migrant is not suitable to civilized standards imposed by the Western world: being white, European, or be US white.
