Abstract

PALHARES, Dario; DOS SANTOS, Íris Almeida  and  ODRIGUES DA CUNHA, Antônio Carlos. RACIAL QUOTAS IN UNIVERSITY VIS-À-VIS THE STATE OF EXCEPTION. rev.latinoam.bioet. [online]. 2017, vol.17, n.1, pp.150-167. ISSN 1657-4702.  https://doi.org/10.18359/rlbi.1897.

There is a close interconnection between Education and Bioethics, as explicitly stated by the Universal Declaration of Bioethics and Human Rights and by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The University of Brasilia has started a program of affirmative action by reserving seats in undergraduate programs for black people. First, an investigative research was carried out to analyze data and contradictions in these quotas. After, the reflection addresses this issue from the perspective of the State of Exception. It may be mentioned that Brazilians are a highly blended population. The admission scores of shareholders and non-shareholders or the racial quotas tend to overlap. Reservation on the basis of race is a reflection of heredity of advantages and privileges over generations, which is against the Democratic State. The implementation of quotas in the vestibular required the creation of racial banking, which presents typical structures of a court of exception. The experience at the university is the basis for the proposal of other laws with racial bias.

Keywords : education; human rights; equality; discrimination; racism.
