Abstract
Understanding political tolerance as one of the dimensions of a democratic political culture, the article uses a set of unpublished data produced by the Latin American Public Project to exploratively compose a general picture of this attitude in the national context. Using descriptive and multivariate analysis techniques, we identify the main groups that are the targets of Brazilian antipathy and determine the degree of tolerance towards them as well as their demographic and attitudinal bases. The results indicate that the manifestation of tolerance is a function of both social attributes (such as generation) and attitudinal ones (such as adherence to democracy and interest in politics), pointing the way to a broad agenda for future studies on the subject.
