1. “I was against quotas, but what changed my mind was the perception that the damaging effects of slavery continue to affect the descendants of its direct victims.”
2. “[...] we can't fight racism with a policy that affirms race. When the state makes laws upon the concept, it 'founds' the notion of race, creating the very same thing it wants to destroy.”

A segunda opinião

Leia o excerto sobre cotas étnicas em universidades públicas brasileiras e responda à questão.

 

In relation to the ethnic issue, it is absolutely necessary that the Brazilian republican society should recognize the discrimination that has happened since the country's foundation, and propose effective solutions to solve this debt. Nevertheless, solutions restricted to the access to universities, without being extended to other institutions and/or spaces of the society in order to create real opportunity for the formation of a new elite, and ensure the participation of this contingent in the decision process of the Brazilian society, seem like a populist incoherence, or like a demagogic simplification.

[1]MELAMINE CONTAMINATION IN CHINA

[2]On September 12, 2008, in light of reports from China of infant formula
[3]contaminated with melamine, the FDA issued a Health Information Advisory
[4]to proactively reassure the American public that there is no known threat of
[5]contamination in infant formula manufactured by companies that have met
[6]the requirements to sell such products in the United States. That advisory
[7]also warned members of Asian communities in the United States that infant
[8]formula manufactured in China, possibly available for purchase at Asian
[9]markets, could pose a risk to infants. No Chinese manufacturers of infant
[10]formula have fulfilled the requirements to sell infant formula in the United
[11]States.
[12]The FDA contacted the companies that manufacture infant formula for distribution in the United States and received
[13]information from the companies that they are not importing formula and do not source milk-based ingredients from
[14]China.
[15]In addition, the FDA – in conjunction with state and local officials – continues to check Asian markets for food items
[16]that are imported from China and that could contain a significant amount of milk or milk proteins.
[17]The FDA has broadened its domestic and import sampling and testing of milk-derived ingredients and finished food
[18]products containing milk or milk-derived ingredients from Chinese sources. FDA has recommended that consumers
[19]not consume certain products because of possible contamination with melamine.
[20]Melamine is not naturally occurring and is not approved to be directly added to food in the United States. However,
[21]melamine is approved for use as part of certain food contact substances. Low levels of melamine are present in the
[22]environment and trace amounts may occur in certain food commodities as a result of approved uses.
[23]Parents using infant formula should continue using U.S. manufactured infant formula. Switching away from using one
[24]of these infant formulas to alternate diets or home-made formulas could result in infants not receiving the complete
[25]nutrition required for proper growth and development.
