Race is a social construction because it is a way to divide our people into groups or labels. Sadly, we are all categorized by the color of our skin and race. It is also a way to justify people’s actions and can easily lead to stereotyping. For example Asian people are always thought out to be extremely smart and good at math and science. Also, many white people are privileged. Social construction is a way to justify the power white people have over minority groups. It is very sad to be categorized like this and to be treated differently because of the color of our skin.
