general response to this whole race issue.
i agree that race is a social construct. but as an educator when i see children whose skin color is brown and black not receive the same resources as children whose skin color is pale then this whole argument means nothing to me. yeah there are pale skinned children getting the short end of the stick in this country but there is a disproportionate number of brown and black skinned children getting the short end. for brown and black skinned people socio-economic status and skin color are synomyns, b/c there is a disproportionate number of black and brown skinned poeple living below the poverty line. to me this whole debate is just an argument that intelligensia and academicians fight about in scholarly journals. a hypothetical question is, how does this argument play out in real life?
