According to the constructionist’s perspective, “It makes problematic the issue of why some physical differences are selected to create socially consequential categories.”(Roy, p.77) When the category of race was fashioned, its builders focus on specific physical characteristics. Physical differences inherently divide people into groups and that is natural that such groups be suspicious of others. Racial differences persist less because of primordial suspicious of differences. This implies that racial categories can be radically transformed and perhaps eliminated, although racial categories are so deeply rooted into many social institutions that change will be difficult. Racial progress will require both a vision of racial justice and commitment to
