When you think in terms of race...do you truly believe there is a black gene, a white gene, and an asian gene that all makes us different as far as our physical, mental, and personality capabilities go?

Do you truly believe race is a fact of biology? Could race just be a concept created by people to hinder any sort of unification of all humans?

Social definately. I mean, there's so many genetic/biological aspects to draw the line with that are ignored within the respective 'races' anyway.

I asked if you believe if race is a social concept or a biological one. Take time to think before responding please.

Since all races have attributes which are genetic aside from color then I would have to say yes.

Well considering you get your race from your parent, then there is 'race gene.' But as far as personality, that is what society makes you think certain races are to act a certain way. We cal them stereotypes.

I think all races might be a tad bit different.. or we'd all be the same race wouldn't we? But it doesn't matter. We're all humans.

Equals halfway in terms of what? What some person says? The white man's guide to the one-drop rule? Or do scientists do a blood test and determine whether or not said person has 50% Black and 50% white? I don't believe doing that is even possible.

The question is not structured to answer with a yes or no, the question is structured with options.

A) A social concept
B) A biological concept

Therefore, in order to answer said question...you must pick an option.

Jesus I wonder how you answer multiple choice in school.

But what determines race? Our physical appearance and it just stops there?
