Race

Allthough I touched on this in my last blog, this blog is devoted to race only and not Crash. Race is not actually a real thing. Race is simply an idea society has created in order to categorize people by appearence. Even though race is not a real thing, people are always asked what race they are or judged on what race they appear to be and no matter what anyone does, they will always be viewed as that race. Unfortunatly, many people also choose to stereotype different races, and think that everyone whom is put in that "category" must be like the stereotypical person that they are compairing to. Somtimes, it is actaully impossible to put a racial class on someone. A friend of mine has a mexican father and a white mother. He is called mexican all the time but never white. Why is it that he is not both recognized as white and mexican but just mexican? People tend to cagtegorize race by the minority race that you carry in your blood rather than a mix of your different races.
