What is Race?
A race is a group of specific, physical differences that other groups don't have. Races generally accumulate in specific geographical locations. Race does not have to do with genetics. Diving people into different races also comes with determining what rights and freedoms people of those races should have. People often judge others based on their race. Some people often think their race is superior to another, but the truth is, there is no subspecies of humans. There are no races that are biologically inferior to another, despite what some people believe. Race is more than skin color because people also associate race with other physical characteristics such as eye shape, hair texture, lip shape, or physical and mental abilities.

I agree, race is also something that determines peoples' rights, even though that kind of stuff should come from what is inside, not on the outside. yes, it is just a skin color but it's also something that can determine where you are headed in life because people judge you based on it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you! Race is not genetic, it is just people judging each other because we like having groupings and categories in our heads. By organizing people by their differences creates major issues though. As you said, it comes with determining rights and freedoms. All based off of stereotypes! That's crazy.
