I was surprised by the idea that exploitation came first because I had always been taught and had believed that it was the ideas that caused people to enslave others.

# data[].attributes.body
the concept of race is real and we can see it around us where people suffer from the consequences of prolonged and current racism

# data[].attributes.body
Yes. It is not biologically real, but is a social construct that is very much present in our society and is therefore real. Ignoring it and saying that it doesn't exist is allowing oppressive systems to be perpetuated

Race is skin color and natives of origin is what I get from the podcast

So race is like your skin color and native origins with not a lot of genetics?

# data[].attributes.body
Humans are very similar to each other in terms of their DNA and sometimes a person shares more DNA with someone on the other side of the planet than someone of the same race.

# data[].attributes.body
The concept of "white" emerged after "blackness" when it was used to justify slavery.

# data[].attributes.body
We could be more similar genetically to someone outside of our race than within our race.

# data[].attributes.body
The social construct of race is real because there are real impacts and defined differences in race, which creates the construct

# data[].attributes.body
Race is definitely a real social construct. It guides human thinking and perception of others that affects our daily decisions an thoughts. On a biological level, it's not.

# data[].attributes.body
I was surprised that race has practically zero similarities to others of the same race's DNA strands. I thought it'd be a little similar at least

# data[].attributes.body
I was reaffirmed that race is a social construct, and how genetics and DNA do not affect biological definitions of race

# data[].attributes.body
I was shocked about how white anthropologists tried to find any way to prove that black people were inferior

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that race today is more so recognized across cultural boundaries subconsciously than the biological differences that are most often recognized upfront.

# data[].attributes.headline
The sources reaffirmed my understanding that there is no biological definition of race.

The sources reaffirmed my understanding that there is no biological definition of race.

People were commissioned to write books that glorify slavery.

I was surprised to here to what extent that white anthropologists went to in order to biologically justify racism. 

# data[].attributes.subject
I was surprised to here to what extent that white anthropologists went to in order to biologically justify racism. 

# data[].attributes.body
As a social construct yes, biologically no.

# data[].attributes.body
I was surprised and interested in the creation and development of "whiteness." I thought race was something that was a solid structure, but it's interesting to see how the perception and categorization of races changed over time.

# data[].attributes.body
We perceive and categorize ourselves and others into races, so effectively, race is real as a social construct. However, races don't have any biological difference, as similar genetic traits aren't mutually exclusive between races.

# data[].attributes.body
There are no biological indicators of race, and the construct of it is mainly based off social constructs and shared experiences.

# data[].attributes.body
Race is real, yes, but it should not be used to justify pointing someone out just because of their race.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought that when they said that most "black people" live in poverty because that's just how they were supposed to live

# data[].attributes.body
there is not that much of a difference between races no matter how hard they looked, humans genes are nearly the same.

# data[].attributes.body
I was surprised that they would compare everything about a "white" person to a african american, trying to find some kind of difference they could use against them.

# data[].attributes.body
The sources surprised me when they talked about the way Nazi Germany got their ideas of race from American race scientists. It makes sense, but I'd never realized.

# data[].attributes.body
The sources reaffirmed my understanding of race when they discussed the "invention" of race. They talked about how race was invented as a sort of justification for slavery, which makes a lot of sense to me.

# data[].attributes.body
I admittedly thought there were more physical similarities, such as average height, between people of the same "race" than there actually are.

# data[].attributes.body
Race is real because society make it real. The social norms and practices that are so rooted in our culture make race real because they dictate that certain people should be treated differently than others. However, biologically, scientifically, race is not real.

# data[].attributes.body
With an anthropological lens, it can be deduced that race is real because we make it real. It represents centuries of a socially constructed categorization.

# data[].attributes.body
There aren't any markers to properly "dictate" race. Therefore, race is more of a social construct than it is biological.

# data[].attributes.body
It was surprising to see how closely related we all are. I was surprised when they brought up the fact that we're more related to each other than other organisms (e.g. fruit flies are to each other by 10 times).

# data[].attributes.body
It is real in the sense it's a social construct

# data[].attributes.body
It is a social construct and have no DNA/biological differences

# data[].attributes.body
I was surprised that while we all can have physical differences we are genetically similar while fruit flies have a massive genetic difference

# data[].attributes.body
it depends on the standpoint you're looking at it from. biology, no it is not real. but social, and the social structure that people have created, it could be considered "real".

# data[].attributes.body
Through a social perspective, race is percieved as real. Through a biological perspective, race is not real

# data[].attributes.body
It was surprising to find out that humans have way less diversity in our DNA than we originally thought

# data[].attributes.body
The idea that race is defined by social structures in addition to genetic makeups and biological structure

# data[].attributes.body
Biogically, race is not real. However, race still exists as a social construct.

# data[].attributes.body
I found it interesting to find out there were 2 evolutionary expansions

# data[].attributes.body
I was surprised that they took every single body part of African people to analyze and look for differences

# data[].attributes.body
I think many of the situations and attributes that we associate to race are real. While skin color has little value, socioeconomic background and opportunity or the lack there of, do.

# data[].attributes.body
That there is little genetic variation between humans

# data[].attributes.body
race is real and it holds many divisions in our world and society. However, this is not by genetic variation but rather the social biases or differences we've created based on what was once believed to be preconceived ideas

# data[].attributes.body
I thought it was really interesting how as humans we are always trying to find differences between each other when in fact we are more similar to each other than fruit flies.

# data[].attributes.body
I was really surprised at how although we all look different physically, we all share similar traits genetically as shown through the small genetic variation shown in the film

# data[].attributes.body
Very small differences in genes can have massive affects on a human being

# data[].attributes.body
In a biological sense race is not real but it is still perceived and is a social construct.

# data[].attributes.body
I was surprised to hear that there weren't any inhernently biological advantages based on your race.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought that race would be more defined by genetic makeup and biology and was surprised to learn that it is entirely defined by social structures

# data[].attributes.body
Race is a perceived difference among humans, but not a biological one. Therefore, it isn't biologically real, but more of a social construct.

# data[].attributes.body
At one point in time (when research was very poor), "White" and "Black" were the only racial categories

# data[].attributes.body
It surprised me the there is very small genetic variation between all humans, even when our outward appearances are so different

# data[].attributes.body
I already knew that race was just a social construct and didn't actually carry any biological meaning.

# data[].attributes.body
I was surprised when I heard that difference races didn't have very different genetic makeups.

# data[].attributes.body
Genetic variation is very small among humans, yet such drastic biological differences exist

# data[].attributes.body
It was cool that DNA can be shared, almost exactly, with someone across the globe.
