摘要：This study aimed to investigate the social representations of racial quotas at the Federal Universities, featured on the comments of internet, about an online article publicized on the website of a national journal. For this exploratory and descriptive study, we selected 272 comments for analysis that were submitted by different individuals. We excluded posts that do not refer to the content of the report. They were organized into a corpus that was submitted to a simple Descending Hierarchical Classification (CHD) with the aid of the software IRAMUTEQ. The CHD retained 211 texts, 77.29% of the total, and divided the corpus into four classes. The results present in the classes refer to the social representations of racial quotas from the discussion of the merit; the equality and the historical aspects that justify the favorability or (des)favorability of the individual regarding this affirmative action.
