The scientific definition of race given in class is not define race. People can look totally different and be very genetically similar. Race is not based on biology but is an idea that scientists and other scalers want it to be. Because they data they found proved otherwise so they put a spin on it to make it different. And also these ideas of race were created during very racist times in America and do to that minority's have been at the bottom with white supremacy on top even know we are all very similarity.(herbes-sommers ,2003)                                                                                           So do to the ideas of race African Americans and others have had to deal with oppression and assault and be judged by what they look like and not by the way they act or their actions and character. Because of conditions of race white family's have a 8 times more wealthy then black family's. Because of the conditions of race white people have a less chance of being stopped on the street even if there minding there own business. Because of the conditions of race white people have less chance of being called a terrorist or made fun of because of what they believe in. But why is this so if we are so genetically so similar i wonder.(west,1993)                                 Because of what we learned so far I've learned a bad the idea of race is. But I also learned that it can take one person to change everything.
