Race doesn't matter because we say it matters, it matters because our history has been formed due to the belief that race biologically exists. The idea of genetic differences between human beings led to the justification of slavery. Yes, it was stupid for people to believe that back then, but because of that misinformed belief, everything from that point onward in our society (American society at least) has been touched by race, racial prejudice, etc. Slavery led to Civil War. Civil War led to Jim Crow discrimination which eventually led to the Civil rights movement. Civil rights movement led to the abolishment of discriminatory race related immigration policies, those policies directly influence anti-Mexican immigrant feelings today, and so on and so forth.

It matters because our history has been shaped by it. Because society has been constructed around it.

So just going, "hey guys, did you know race doesn't matter?" really does nothing. It does nothing to explain why those in poverty are disproportionately black people, it doesn't explain "white flight" in suburban neighborhoods, it doesn't explain why 2nd generation Asian Americans consistently do better than their white counterparts in school.

Race as a social construct matters. Race as biology does not.
i agree.. racism is still everywhere.. and i cant say slavery isnt a factor(dutch people were the grand suppliers of america), but i also think fear has something to do with it. moslim extremist cause fear, therefore people fear moslims. Mexican-americans form a gang in one place, fear goes everywhere.

but anyways.. this has nothing to do with this thread

actually.. i think all kinds of women can be beautifull.. most of them are.. im more interested in what kind of person they are(physical attraction has got to be there though)

so i dont really care about what race(though anyone looking like Aeris or rinoa still takes the prize with me )
