How might you de ne it: race is a social construct that was made up by the europeans to divide people into. Race, in the modern day, has to do someone"s ethnic background, usually involving their skin color. There really is only one race, the human race: race is just away to divide people and can be different in different areas of the world. What does it mean to say race is not biological/is a social construct: it is just a way to divide people by visual similarities. i. e. black hair, white skin, blue eyes, etc. What is racial etiquette : social interaction between the races and the way someone would act based on their race. What does racialization mean: projecting a certain racial category into a group of people.
