The idea that race is constructed is a very interesting topic to me. In the discussion in class we discussed it and moved on but I still could not get passed this idea. Although the idea that race is constructed is something that I agree with, I cannot help but wonder how is it constructed and pushed through society to still have current effects. There are biological aspects that was once believed to have a role in the way race is used in society. There also is the personal action of parents teaching their kids these racist teachings in their actions. There also was the way that racism was ingrained in the economies of many nations across the world leading to many laws made throughout the years. As to what was the first thought that constructed and led to the existence of race distinctions I cannot answer this. This is something that is very shocking to me though. The construction of race had been so long ago that it cannot be traced by the average person. This time is scary because it shows how many layers of development it had to go through in different civilizations and cultures. It also cannot be traced because it is not an agreed thought that race is constructed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
