My Story...

Discussion: How Different are we? 1. How would you define Race? 2. How many races are there? What are they? How do you decide which race someone belongs to? 3. Look around the room. Who do you think is likely to be most similar to you, biologically or genetically? Why? 4. Where do your ideas about race come from?

Ten Things Everyone Should Know about Race (adapted from PBS Race: Power of an Illusion) Video 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9YMCKp5myI Race is a modern idea Race has no genetic basis Human subspecies don’t exist Skin color really is only skin deep Most variation is within, not between, “races.” Video 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UZS8Wb4S5k 6. Slavery predates race 7. Race and freedom (capitalism) were born together 8. Race justified social inequalities as natural 9. Race isn’t biological, but racism is still real Video 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mW764dXEI_8 10. Colorblindness will not end racism Video 4: http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=targeted+Universalism&adlt=strict&view=det ail&mid=3B0D291D13F4BEFF347A3B0D291D13F4BEFF347A&FORM=VRDGAR
