I watched the video and had a conversaton with a colleague of mine while planning professional development for staff. We were looking for ways to explain the difference between Race and Ethnicity, and the video summed it up perfectly. I shared with my colleague how race isn't real, that it is a social construct that was created to help resolve the condridictions about Rights of Freedom and Slavery. I went on to share how 'race/races' have changed throughout history based on the needs/wants of society. We then went into a deeper conversation about how the idea of race, (while 'made-up'), plays such a large role in the construction of one's identity.
