In this reflection work, I discuss and problematize the strategies and discursive representations of "the Haitian" in some news about the contagion of Covid-19 in Chile. From the concepts of standpoint, nomadism, orientalism and other conceptualizations elaborated by critical studies of race and whiteness (SWC), I analyze the political production of cultural difference in the media, and its performativity for the conformation of subject-positions of the me and the other, as well as its effects of stigmatization and exclusion of racialized migrant communities. The essay is crossed by the critique of integration policies and the rescue of the affirmative power and subversive of others and the monstrous as keys to a queer politics of the race.
