Race

So in class, we have been talking about race. Race is different from place to place, from society from society. We also learned the biology behind race, that there isn't any! this may come to a shock to a lot of people because we almost assume there must be something genetic involving race, but there isn't. One of the many problems I see with this is, we should be taught earlier that race is made up, not when we are 17 or 18. We have made up our minds about most things by now. I think a lot of people will have a hard time believing it even if a great teacher like Sal says so, which is unfortunate. i like to think that we come from a more tolerant area but racism is everywhere and even then, without hate, we still acknowledge race all the time. African-American is the "politically correct" term for black, when you can be black and be from Australia or Brazil. We generalize people in our attempt to be less racist, that cannot be the case in our quest for equality among all colors, religions, cultures etc. We aren't as different as we think and need act accordingly.
