  Bright Weavings: The Worlds of Guy Gavriel Kay - Reading Passage from Lord of Emperors (Book 2 of The Sarantine Mosaic)
Pardos had felt unclean and ashamed—bitterly aware that he was Antae and shared the blood, and even the tribe, as it happened, of the foul-tongued man who had stood up with his forbidden sword, smeared the young queen with ugly, vicious words, and then died there with those he’d killed.
Pardos simply hoped she was all right,wherever she was, and that she would come back.
Pardos sat huddled in his cloak, leaning against his pack and the rough shelter of the wall, and looked up at the far stars and the one white moon and thought about where he was in Jad’s creation.

  SPANISH ENVOY TACKLES TOBIN, CANADA ON INTERNET
Pardos is a multilingual whirlwind in person and a demon on the Internet, where he employs a dramatic, inventive and sometimes ungrammatical vocabulary to chronicle Canadian attempts to stop Spanish overfishing: Brian Tobin was "impertinent" and "tactless"; Canadian diplomats were "useless"; the Canadian public was "manipulated".
Pardos, upon hearing the news of the "New-Net-Show-bin", went ballistic, believing this was simply a move to heighten Tobin's "politically near-sighted glory".
Pardos is confident he is handing his successor a country where all "the bitterness and hate" towards Spain has ended.

 Education, Family Background and Racial Earnings Inequality in Brazil
This study combines survey data with annual state data on pupil-teacher ratios covering broadly the period 1940-90 to investigate the role of race, family background and education (both the quantity and quality) in explaining earnings inequality between whites and the African descendent population (pretos and pardos) in Brazil.
While the labor market rewards the educational investments of pardos similar to those of white workers located at the top of the adjusted wage scale, pardos at the bottom are rewarded similar to pretos.
The results suggest that while equalizing access to quality education, including improved early learning environments, is key to reduce inter-racial earnings inequality in Brazil, specific policies are also needed to facilitate non-whites equal access to good quality jobs.

 PICOS PARDOS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
En su origen, (posiblemente la edad media) la expresión «irse a picos pardos» o «irse de picos pardos» significaba irse con una mujer de la vida o «moza de partido».
Se decia porque la ley obligaba a las tales mujeres a usar «jubón de picos pardos» (vestidura que cubre hasta la cintura), para distinguirlas de las mujeres decentes.
El Diccionario de la Academia, en su 3.° edición de 1791, decía que «"Andarse, o irse, a picos pardos" es frase con que se da a entender que alguno, pudiendo aplicarse a cosas útiles y provechosas, se entrega a las inútiles e insustanciales, por no trabajar y por andarse a la briba.».

 Popular Music and Society: Carlos Jimenez: Reflecting the Power of the People in Argentine Cuarteto Music
From the beginning, pardos, morenos, and Indians had obstacles placed in their way that kept them at the bottom of the social ladder (Ratier 28).
Blacks and pardos were also listed in separate registries at churches and lived in the worst possible parts of town (Endrek 7, 33-48, 76-77, 81, 87-88).
As a result, these foreigners became artisans, manual laborers, and businessmen instead of the pardos, who had absorbed the disdain of manual labor of their masters and were happy to work as domestics instead (Andrews 183-84; Fogal 272-73; Morner 231).

 A City in the Midst of War
The wave of pardos arriving with the war left behind a substantial residue, while the outflow of whites failed to substantially reverse itself (Figure 5-3).
This army, recruited and dragooned from among the pardos and Negroes of the central valleys and mountains and the plains around San Carlos, followed its white officers partly out of fear of punishment for insubordination and partly in hopes of acquiring some of the spoils of war.
Gone were the soldiers and their officers, gone were substantial portions of the colonial white elite, but in their place remained a considerable number of pardos, especially single women, who chose to remain in the city rather than follow the exodus to Caracas in 1814.

During this period, persons of mixed racial origin, or pardos, were allowed, for a price, to join the militia, to obtain an education, to hold public office, and to enter the priesthood.
They could even purchase legal certification of their "whiteness." These changes eliminated most of the few distinctions that had set the criollos apart from the darker-skinned masses (pardos at that time represented more than 60 percent of the population).
Inspired by the rhetoric of the French Revolution, the small group led by Gual and España recruited pardos, poor whites, laborers, and small shopkeepers, calling for equality and liberty and for harmony among all classes.
