Document Summary
Most important is the social construction of these things. What people believe about racial differences , what people believe about gender differences, what people believe about ethnic differences, importance of difference ethnic groups. If you take, intuitionally example of slavery, in us, existed up until middle of 19th century. Black people were enslaved and white people were considered to be free. Ask question to what extend is this example genetic. Facial features are what we inherit and have no choice upon. Doesn"t effectively matter how society reacts to them in the physiological sense they exist, then empirical sense. There"s a reaction in society in form of treating people differently; this reaction is he cultural side of this gene culture interaction. So, in broad existential sense, thinly very broadly about it we can say that is it both the genes and the culture that matters.
