According to IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics), "pardo" is a broad classification that encompasses Multiracial Brazilians such as "mulatos" and "cafuzos", as well as assimilated Amerindians known as "caboclos", mixed with Europeans or not. The term "pardo" was first used in a Brazilian census in 1872. The following census, in 1890, replaced the word "pardo" by "mestiço" (that of mixed origins). The censuses of 1900 and 1920 did not ask about race, arguing that "the answers largely hid the truth".
