群体支配观点认为，意识形态是核心的生产和繁殖的种族压迫，其负面影响的态度，反种族主义的举措。巴西的种族民主神话经常被以此为框架，作为一种种族主义意识形态来解释种族不平等的明显缺乏对抗。2000年巴西里约热内卢州种族态度概率样本的数据与这一长期主张相矛盾，表明该州大多数巴西人承认种族主义在巴西社会中发挥作用，支持平权行动的想法，并表示有兴趣加入反种族主义组织。此外，对扶持行动的看法似乎与按教育水平衡量的社会阶层的关系比与种族的关系更密切。与美国关于对类似的某些扶持行动政策的意见的调查结果相比，巴西在支持扶持行动方面的种族差距不大。结果还表明，那些承认巴西存在种族歧视的人更有可能支持扶持行动。从巴西的群体优势的角度来看，以及反种族主义战略的种族理论的影响得到解决。
Group dominance perspectives contend that ideologies are central to the production and reproduction of racial oppression by their negative affect on attitudes toward antiracism initiatives. The Brazilian myth of racial democracy frequently is framed in this light, evoked as a racist ideology to explain an apparent lack of confrontation of racial inequality. Data from a 2000 probability sample of racial attitudes in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, contradict this long-held assertion, showing that most Brazilians in this state recognize racism as playing a role in Brazilian society, support the idea of affirmative action, and express interest in belonging to antiracism organizations. Moreover, opinions on affirmative action appear more strongly correlated with social class, as measured by education level, than race. As compared with results from the United States regarding opinions on similar selected affirmative action policies, the racial gap in Brazilian support for affirmative action is only moderate. Results also show that those who recognize the existence of racial discrimination in Brazil are more likely to support affirmative action. Implications for race theorizing from a group dominance perspective in Brazil as well as for antiracism strategies are addressed.
