This Cool Video is from Vox. It is a three minute discussion about the category of race. The video offers a useful reminder that race is a not a biological category, determined by DNA, but a social category that has changed over time. It claims to debunk race, but it really doesn't. It recognizes it as an important social and political construct. And of course, just because people make it up does not mean it is not real. Many things that people made up, like democracy, freedom, and love are real, but you'll get the point.
