I want to know what you think. Choose 2 out of the 3 questions to answer. Minimum of 15 sentences for the entire post.
1. Is it contradictory to say that membership in an ethnic group is an ascribed status while arguing that we negotiate our social identities? Why or why not?
2. What is meant by the social construction of race? How does this concept differ from race as perceived by the average middle-class American?
3. Racial classification is a political issue. Compare the Canadian census, in its treatment of racial categories, to the U.S. Census. What do you think would be the political consequences of using one census over another? The election of Barack Obama to the U.S. presidency in 2008 rekindled many public discussions on race in the United States. What is the substance of these discussions? What are the terms of the debate?
