http://www.pbs.org/race/001_WhatIsRace/001_00-home.htm
Please address one of the following questions in your post, or create your own question to invite discussion:
- 1-What questions does this website raise for you? What does it really mean to say that race is not a biological reality?
- 2-Should that change the way we categorize racial groups in American culture?
- 3-Does this mean that we can be a 'color-blind' society?
Remember to bring in information from the article "Thinking Anthropologically About Race."
