Is race biologically determined, or is it something we people socially constructed? Discuss. I'm hoping for a good debate.

Read my last post where I quote a PhD working at Washington University in St. Louis.
Also, Google "race does not exist" and biologically or genetically. You might also want to read this (originally in Scientific American): http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?id=00055D...BAA83414B7F0000 There's a lot of controversy in the claim that race is not biological. People wonder why, then, are African Americans more susceptible to sickle cell anemia, or what accounts for physical differences, etc. I really don't know enough about the subject to say anything at the moment, but I'm writing a research topic about this, so... maybe in a few days. |
