Answer:
The "race" as a social construction
The "race" is not a human biological category, but a social construction that is based on different historical, political, economic and experiential contexts. The term "race" should not be associated with an ethnic group, a population or ancestry. Different scientific research has shown that it is a myth that there are "white", "yellow" or "black" genes. All human beings that live on the planet have one hundred percent of the same genes, what changes are the types, sequential variations called alleles. Neither the blood type nor the skin color determines the origin or origin of someone. Humanity shares a history of nomadism and migration. Comparing populations does not mean that there are races, it means that there are thousands of humans that vary in their DNA sequences.
Racial identities
The analysis of racial identity starts from people's perception of themselves in racial terms. The social race exists and can have a biological impact. It is important to keep this in mind since we cannot go against the self-denomination of each person (being considered white, black or mestizo).
- Understanding this concept help scholars better analyze the politics of race because it shows how necessary it is to eradicate the structure of racism based on systems of discrimination based on identity.
