... In America a
majority of people are more than one race. It seems that society tries to categorize people,
but when your heritage is from all over choosing one race is just not an option. ...
Most people take pride in their culture but for some reason people find it
embarrassing to be a certain race. ... People should be proud of
what they are instead of hiding it they should change the way people think about that race.
What race you are is exactly that, it’s what you are, not who you are.
Arguments have occurred from whether or not a person can choose what race
they are. Situations such as a person being a certain race but is raised by a family of a
different culture, making them want to consider themselves to be more like that culture
than that of the one they are biologically told they are, ethically no one can tell them they
are wrong. On the other hand someone might grow up with a lot of friends of a different
culture and feel that they want to be that race instead. ... If a school’s ratio varies by plus or minus 15 percentage
points, then race is considered a tiebreaker.”(Ervin 2) In a cases such as this one a
student might refers to themselves as something else then the race that the school picks
they are. Who gets to choose what race someone is the legal system or the actual person,
do we have any say of what may affect ourselves? Race is a biological feature that we
can not change. ... I admit
that a lot of people are still racist, but the number of people who do not give a second
thought about race has rapidly increased.
