Cotas raciais e heteroidentificação: analise dos parâmetros utilizados para a validação da autodeclaração

Abstract

The various parameters adopted by federal education institutions, in order to validate the racial quota candidate's ethnic-racial self-declaration, contribute to the discrediting of the quota system. The purpose of this article is to appreciate the lack of unified criteria among such institutions for the validation of ethnic-racial self-declaration and to identify the best ways for the application of racial quotas. The deductive method was used, using a bibliographic survey, supported by works that deal with social inequalities resulting from the race / color factor, notices from federal educational institutions and legislation. As a result, the ratification of the ethnic-racial self declaration in the genealogy has to give the opportunity for the white individual, recognized by society as such and who enjoys all the white social privilege, to declare himself as black because of his ancestry. Therefore, the subjective criterion is the most appropriate, as it analyzes the candidate in the specific case. Considering subjectivity, the heteroidentification board must conduct interviews with the candidate to identify the social context in which it is inserted, and it is up to the candidate to explain the reasons for declaring himself a member of that ethnic group, so that racial quotas reach their objective.
