Document Summary
By measuring how many friends that people have on the basis of diversity. Race is a social construction, an achieved status as much as it is an ascribed status because: racial classifications are arbitrary. If we were to separate groups at a genetic level it would be the same. They argue that race is achieved as well as ascribed. "one drop rule" if you eve have one drop of african american life, then that one drop considers you as. If people define situations as real, they are real in their consequences . This is often referred to as the ** thomas theorem . Objective reality to a certain extent is unimportant. In this case, the belief in race gives rise to interpersonal (one person being racist with another or more) racism: hate interpersonal racism. Hate belief, offensive words, intentionally try to get people to be upset. It"s just common sense but i don"t mean to be racist but: subliminal racism.
