Race is a social construct
Monday Apr 04, 2022
Monday Apr 04, 2022
“Race is not biological. It is a social construct. There is no gene or cluster of genes common to all blacks or all whites. Were race “real” in the genetic sense, racial classifications for individuals would remain constant across boundaries. Yet, a person who could be categorized as black in the United States might be considered white in Brazil or colored in South Africa.” - Professor Angela Onwuachi-Willig, The New York Times 06\09\2016
In this episode of Down Home Jay and D explore the concept of race with the two senior reporters who produced the Quirks & Quarks: Black in science special, Nicole Mortillaro and Amanda Buckiewicz.
