has a specific history‚ and started in a time where being “colored skin” is considered abnormal. While being white was the norm‚ at that time biology was important and science was influencing the population. Indeed‚ there were‚ are and will be physical differences between people. Yet‚ what is significant about these when it comes to race is not the biology of those differences‚ but the social weight we attach to them. Therefore‚ the race still exists not because it is biological or normal‚ but because
