Many have false assumptions that there are great genetic variances between races that allow people to be categorized into separate racial throngs, but this notion is biologically false.
Race is constructed by society.
It is a plastic term whose definitions are as fluid and different as the varying ideas of society. Racial construction is a taxonomy of people based on their skin color and physical appearance, which consequently invokes unjust stereotypes and demarcations. Class and economic potential are prominent overlapping categories in society s attempt to define racial groups. Chicano culture, for example, is commonly delineated as economically inferior to American, or white, society. Poverty and illiteracy are terms frequently used to subordinate Mexican-American culture, not only by white Americans but also by Chicanos themselves.
