The reason why sociologists say that <u>race is a social</u> construction is because what it means to be "white", "black", "Latino", "Asian", etc., is defined according to culture, time and the place. The meanings of these categories are changed over time. However, what does not change is that the racial groups are placed in a hierarchy, with white people or with lighter skin in the upper part; people of non-indigenous color subjected to people with lighter skin; Black and indigenous people in the lower part of the racial system. race is an externally imposed social category. Unlike ethnicity, which describes both aspects of ancestry as well as culture and personal identification, race is ascribed by society.

What is true about sharecroppers
Allisa [31]

Answer:

sharecropping gave African Americans autonomy in their daily work and social lives, and freed them from the gang-labor system that had dominated during the slavery era, it often resulted in sharecroppers owing more to the landowner for the use of tools and other supplies.
