Abstract

This paper aims to show how the higher education system in Mexico still uses colonial racial categories in the implementation of intercultural public policies for indigenous people. In order to do so, I take as an example the Program for Academic Support for Indigenous Students in the University of Guadalajara, located in the west of Mexico, and implemented since 2001. We show how the university implemented the program with a racial and colonial vision of what being indigenous is. Finally, we describe the demands of some indigenous students of this institution, in order to close with a discussion on the necessity that the university holds a public debate about racism.

Keywords:

Support program, interculturalism, indigenous students, difference and racism
