RACE

What is Race?

Race is a classification system used to categorize humans into large and distinct populations or groups by heritable phenotypic characteristics, geographic ancestry, culture, history, language, physical appearance, ethnicity, and social status. In the early twentieth century the term was often used, in a taxonomic sense, to denote genetically differentiated human populations defined by phenotype.

What do you think of when you think of Race? I think of Black people, White people, Asian people, Mexican, Indian and brown people.
