week 15

This week in sociology we are talking about social aspect of race.In class today we did a experiment with different balls.There were basketballs, baseballs,soccer balls ,footballs, and other types of balls as well.Are task was to sort them by a category of are choosing.But the thing is that there is no true way to sort the balls just like there is no way to sort people by race.You have all different races and there is no one category to sort by.Look at skin color, and how people in different races have darker skin cold and not just the ones people depict as dark colored skin.You just can't sort people by race.

For example look at me.I am white and jewish with some German decent and people do't always see me as that. people have told me I look Russian but I feel I do not look that way at all and my decent from my family is German and Polish which was part of Russia at one point and close to it but i am not Russian.
