SOC 308 Week 1 DQ 1 Constructing
Race Constructing Race. Review the PBS
website RACE The Power of an Illusion as you
prepare for this discussion. This site offers
many examples of how the science of human
difference contradicts ordinary ideas of race. As
we see in the readings and in this website, race
is socially constructed, a system of thought and
human behavior not directly based on nature,
instead resulting from social ideas and
practices. In other words, race exists because
people believe it is real and important.

century, European immigrant groups described in

Native Americans, Asians, Hispanics, and
non-white Europeans interact with the white
majority in a system of race that can be broadly
described as comprising whites and non-whites,
whites and racial minorities, or whites and
people of color. While unique ethnic groups share
a culture in which ethnic conflict is present,
including pressures to assimilate, the broader
culture also celebrates the unique culture of
many ethnic groups in America.
