Introduction A social construction is any entity that is institutionalized appearing in a social set up and is invented by contributors in a specific society or culture that is in existence due to agreement by the people to behave as if it exists or follow particular conventional rules. The fact about the concept of race as a social construct is the least known. Race and the resulting racism were initiated by White Europeans and Americans so as to justify the practice of slavery on people for profit. Essence Although ‘race’ as a description of the physical condition probably dates back to the dawn of the human species, most scholars agree that it was primarily through European expansion in the 16th to the 19th century that ‘race’ as a physical description emerged. It was when European colonizers, whose aim was mainly to seek out valuable primary products such as sugar, tin, rubber and human labor, came into contact with ‘native’ populations who were ‘people of color’ that racism became a dominant force in Western society. (Solomos, 2005). Race is a group of people that are bound together by historically dependent and socially important elements of their ancestry and/or morphology. Race is a social phenomenon where disputed systems of meaning act as the links between races, physical features, and personal characteristics. That is to say, social meanings link our faces to our souls. Race is neither an essence nor an illusion, but rather an ongoing, conflicting and self-strengthening process vulnerable to the macro pressures of political and social struggle as well as the micro impacts of daily decisions. The terms like White, Black, Latino, and Asian, are social groups and provide no evidence of genetically separate branches of humankind. (Winant, 2000). Some scientists argue that there is a physical, natural division amid humans that are hereditary and reflected in morphology. Under this outlook, one’s epidermis and ancestors determine membership in a genetically defined racial group; every person’s race has been defined by nature In spite of the widespread conviction in biological races, substantial evidence proves that race is non biological; biological races such as Negroid and Caucasoid are not in existence. Some scholars argue that since there are no natural link between faces and races then there is no connection that exists. There are no genetic characteristics and/or cluster of genes possessed by one group of the perceived race but not another. One’s race is not determined by a single gene or gene cluster, as is, for example, sickle cell anemia. Nor are races marked by important differences in gene frequencies, the rates of appearance of certain gene types. (Solomos, 2005). Scientists have found out, contrary to popular opinion, that intra-group differences exceed inter-group differences. That is, there is greater genetic variation within the populace typically referred to as White and Black than between the populations. This disproves the belief that racial divide reflect fundamental differences in genetic make up. Notice this does not mean that individuals are genetically indistinguishable from each other, or even that small population groups cannot be genetically differentiated. Small populations, for example, the Xhosa or
