Social Differentiation Race: Physical traits of a person that have, over time, become socially significant Remember, theoretically, race and ethnicity are considered part of social differentiation. No race is better than another and no ethnicity is better than another. However, race was socially constructed (aka created by humans), which means that race does have social significance.

Why can’t we say “Negro?” or “Negroid” From time of slavery to the 1960s, white Americans used “Negro” to describe black people. It is derogatory (kata yang menghina). It is socially unacceptable, offensive, and considered racist to say “Negro” or “colored” in the USA today.

Why can’t we say “Mongoloid” or “Mongol” Using mongol and mongoloid as a term for Down’s syndrome actually dates back to the 1860s, when a doctor called John Langdon Down published a paper, Observations on an Ethnic Classification of Idiots. Source: http://www.independent.co.uk/

Peggy Macintosh (1988) I am around people of my race most of the time. I can turn on the television or open to the front page of the newspaper and see people of my race widely represented. When I learn about “civilization” in History, I am shown that people of my color helped create it. I can do well in a challenging situation without people saying I did well only because of my race. I can be pretty sure that if I ask to talk to the “person in charge”, I will be facing a person of my race. I can easily buy posters, post-cards, picture books, greeting cards, dolls, toys and children’s magazines featuring people of my race. I can easily find academic courses and institutions which give attention only to people of my race. I can chose make-up or bandages in “flesh” color and have them more or less match my skin.
