Classification by external appearance
Why?
Humans beings are the same inside, but they are classified into categories according to external appearance
*
Race- people who are believed to share distinct physical characteristics that are deemed socially significant
Can You Name A Few?
Racial groups are sometimes distinguished on the basis of such physical characteristics as skin color, hair texture, facial features, and body shape and size.
Skin pigment- melanin = protection from the sun’s rays
Hotter the darker vs. colder the lighter
Anthropologist definitions of skin tone in dark or light; not black or white

Science of genetics challenges the notion of race
Geneticists have discovered that the genes of any two unrelated persons, chosen at random from around the world, are 99.9% alike
Most human genetic variations – approximately 85 %- can be found between any two individuals from the same group (racial, ethnic, religious.)
There is no pure race
Race is a social rather than an biological
White is now called European American

*Genocide,* Expulsion or *Population Transfer, *Colonialism, *Segregation, *Acculturation, *Pluralism, *Assimilation, And *Amalgamation
Genocide- the deliberate, systematic annihilation of an entire nation of people
20th Century Hitler led the Nazi extermination of 12 Million people, including 6 Million Jews (Holocaust)
1994 – Hutus slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Tutsis (Tutsis was called cockroaches by the Hutus) in Rwanda, Africa

My family in 1974 went to Austin Texas for dinner and was told our Mexican Nanny named Kandy, could not eat with us because she was not white. We left the restaurant- then less than six weeks later my father owned it! He believed any one should be able to eat where they wanted. Kandy was a family member. Our two other Nannies where not pick on because they were white.
*

*
Amalgamation (Marital Assimilation)- when different ethnic or racial groups become married or pair-bonded and produce children
Interracial marriages are more common today than in previous generations, although less than 5% of U.S. married couples in 2007 were interracial
One in five U.S. adults disapproves of Black-white interracial dating
*
1790 – U.S. Census – population into four groups- 1. free white males, 2. free white females, 3. slaves, and 4. other persons (including free blacks and Indians)

New Census option for identifying as “mixed race” to avoid putting children of mixed-race parents in difficult position of choosing the race of one parent over the other when filling out data on school forms and other forms
