Is Race Real

After doing the "sorting people" activity (which sucked because the pictures were too small and I couldn't really see them), I found out how complicated and messed up it probably was to classify race in the past when only physical features were involved. And the fact that stood out to me the most was the last one, which said that colorblindness will not end racism. I agree with that wholeheartedly; we should not pretend we are all "one" color. Instead of focusing on this grand ideal of everyone being equal or exactly the same, we should embrace our differences and learn more about each other as a human population. It won't end racism, but it will help us develop an appreciation for one another that can aid in accepting each other no matter what color of skin we happen to have.
