Affirmative action became, in the current Brazilian context, more than a government grant, under universalist public policies, but a activity unequivocally directed to remedy distortions historically constructed in relation to Afro-descendant Brazilian population, like compensatory measures. Some of these measures are called cotas raciais, discussed in this article from the relationship to the public university education and from the meritocractic ideology.

Palabras clave : Affirmative action; Cotas raciais; Brazilian university; Meritocraticy.
