The physical differences between humans are real, but as stated in the video, there is no clear distinction when one race ends and another begins. What should mixed people identify as? The “one drop” rule is a direct result of racism and eugenics. Back then, the difference between the white race and all others could’ve been an ancestor 5 generation before you. There is no biological difference between a completely white person and someone who is 1% black.

It was interesting to see how both the white and black kids thought race made a difference in track, and sports in general.

Something that challenged my understanding was that race does not have a correlation with genetics.

Something that surprised me was that two people within the same race can have as many genetic differences as with an individual outside of their race.

I knew that race was often used in the past to excuse systemic and individual violence, and this documentary reaffirmed that the perceived differences that create race are constructions.

Race is something that was created to divide us. There are no biological/genetic differences between races, it simply is based on the color of someone's skin. Due to this, race is a social construct and can be seen as not real. However, race plays a huge part in ones identity and community which is one reason it can be seen as real.

the physical appearances of people compared to their actual DNA was way different than I expected

when the classmates that did the experiment compared their skin colors and genetics to the rest of their peers, I thought it was surprising to see how similar everyone was. It surprised me though when they had a piece of paper with different shades of skin on it though, and the students had to use that to identify their skin color number on the scale.

Race is a social construct. However, the idea of race builds our society as a whole. Biologically, there is no difference between people of different races- yet we decide that race controls our social status and how "accepted" we may be in society.

biologically, race is a myth but the construct of race is a very real thing that's used to divide society and cultures

It was interesting to see how people thought of with similar skin colours as the most similar genetically but it wasn't actually the case.

# data[].attributes.body
People think they have a lot in common with people of their same skin type when in reality, even if you have the same skin type your biology can be completely different

race isn't biologically real, however it impacts social structure.

# data[].attributes.body
People think they have most similarities with people that have either the same skin color or where they are from

Race is a false statement that is easily mistaken for a biological aspect of a person. Race is a man-made problem that has gotten out of hand and created hatred towards people that are "not white". Race is a way of dividing our society.

# data[].attributes.body
People of different skin colors/races having very similar genetic traits and factors reaffirmed my understanding of race

race is a social construct, but social constructs can be real too

Race still exists, just not biologically

# data[].attributes.body
Race is a man-made structure, a social construct. So although it's not biologically real, humans have made it real through their arbitrary definitions of it and actions taken based off it.

I read a study last year about the topic of genetic markers having no basis behind race. This documentary reaffirmed the concept that race is not defined by genetic markers or biological variabilities. The genetic variability between humans is actually much smaller than other species of animals, like penguins. The concept of race is largely psychological.

Nazi propaganda used theories of American eugenics, which originally focused on "racial purification"

# data[].attributes.body
Race seems to be a "real" concept because we can assign the idea to something tangible, like skin color, even though that may not be the true definition of race. Moreover, race could be considered a real term because it allows people to identity themselves with certain communities, while also allowing discrimination to occur between these communities.

# data[].attributes.body
Some people think that because a man is black he is better at track. Others think that Jewish people are better at basketball because they are Jewish. This is absolutely not true. These skills can be learned and developed by anyone of any race. By saying that one race is better than the other we are establishing a form of division in our society.

# data[].attributes.body
Biologically, race is not real. There is no universal measurement for race and no DNA specific to one race, therefore we cannot measure it with genetics. Culturally and socially, however, we organize in races. I don't think in reality it actually exists, it's just more of the idea we've created that makes us different from one another. This idea has led us to create structures based on race, making it something real.

Skin colors can be really similar for people of different races.

A mixed race was viewed as something almost worse than separate races because it meant the traits of the "superior race" were mixing with the other, "downplaying them"

# data[].attributes.body
there are biological differences between people but not to the extent that one is better than the other, that idea is simply a construct of society to justify segregation

# data[].attributes.body
To hear race be described as an idea and how humans are more similar to each other than any other animals.

# data[].attributes.body
I think race as a genetic/biological factor is invalid, however, I think race should somewhat be considered when understanding people and their histories. In the past, it has been a huge factor in how groups of people were treated so I think the consequences of "race" and the conceived concept of race is important to consider

Race was made into an excuse for the social differences between people due to institutionalized discrimination, and as a coping mechanism to explain why there was so much suffering within certain groups

There are no specific genetic markers that are the same within a race but different than others. There is no "race gene"
