Race

The new unit we started is about race. Race is just a socially constructed thing, there is not biological differences between races.  There isn't just black or white and your either one or the other, there is a whole spectrum of skin color. Society defines which race you fall into, and the divisions are just arbitrarily made. People look at others and try to put them into a race category whether it is white, black, Asian, Indian, etc. by looking at someone like Mariah Carey people would never see her as black because she doesn't look like it, and on the other hand people see Barack Obama as only black because of how he looks. I was always confused about race my whole like because I didn't, and still don't, know where I fit in. People ask me all the time what race are you and I'm not offended I just don't even know myself. A lot of people consider me Asian, even though I'm only a quarter. Others ask if I'm Mexican or Hawaiian haha I get everything.
