RESUMO

Discussions about the racial question in Brazilhave become more polemic after two universities of Rio de Janeiro had implemented social and racial quotas in 2003. Afterwards, in several universities there was in increase of census to identify the race/color if students, with the aim of knowing how racial segments are represented at universities. In this context, the goal of our study is to draw a racial portrait of Paraíba Federal universitys graduate students in 2003 and to find out what is UFPBs color. The data, coming from a secondary source namely PGR (graduations Pró-reitoria), has been analyzed to find out how many black, mixed, yellow and Indians exist at the university and in each graduation. As theoretical background, it has been assumed there is on racial democracy in Brazil. Results show that, in 2003, of the 21.283 graduation students, 40.3% were white, 2.9% black, 2.4% yellow, 20.5% mixed, 1% indian and 32.9% did not answer. Management was the graduation with more white students, while pedagogy was the graduation with more black and yellow students (41 e 44 respectively). Furthermore, the psychology and agro-industry graduations had no black students, while the Portuguese/English graduation ha only one white student. It has also been observed an under-representation of black students in the graduation, which implies a disparity between the number of white and non-white students. As observed in other universities with similar results, such factors as wrong income distribution, educational inequality and absence of a democratic process to access higher education might influence the under-representation of black students in graduations. Our conclusion is that UFPBs colour in white.
