This article analyzes the textual trajectory of the compliment "Voce e uma morena bonita" ("You're a beautiful light brown-skinned woman") presented in participants' commentaries in two different forums. Besides this, we intend to identify the indexicality orders mobilized in this specific compliment trajectory. The analytical framework is based on Queer Theory conceptualizations of race, on the theorethical-analytical constructs about textual trajectory and indexicality order proposed by Blommaert (2010; BLOMMAERT;DONG, 2008) and indexical cues by Wortham (2001). The data ethnographical instruments are commentaries posted on Blogueiras Negras' blog and Pragmatismo Politico site. Results suggest that the compliment travels two distinct journeys in the spaces previously mentioned and mobilize three orders of indexicality related to race (the compliment is an offense, the compliment is acceptable, the compliment is not an offense). The two first orders can be observed on Blogueiras Negras. On the other hand, on Pragmatismo Politico, besides the two orders, it is possible to perceive another: the compliment is not an offense. Thus, these orders call up the same Discourses in tension in Brazil about racism.
