| Summary: | This article presents some results from a sociological study aiming to understand racial discriminations in Colombian universities. Based on a conceptualization of racism as a process, by the way of a qualitative research, this work tries to identify everyday racism from the perspective of students, men and women, racialized as “blacks” in Bogota, according to the historical and social construction of racial otherness in Colombia. We have identified that racism is expressed by some mechanisms that are mostly of a subtle or euphemized kind. Those mechanisms contribute to the reproduction and renewal of an imagined intellectual inferiority of black students, placing them on subordinate social positions. This process paradoxically contradicts the universalism and meritocracy principles that have been historically guided the ethos of universities in Colombia. |
