I watched this video several times because there was so much information in such a short video clip. Inquiring about one's race seems so simple, but as explained in the video, race was created to categorize people. These categories have changed over time reflecting the needs of political and social priorities. However, racial categories assigned and the way an individual identifies do impact one's real-life experiences. If race is such a hard concept to define, what makes it such a controversial topic to discuss? By sharing this video with others, maybe the discussion can change from being about an individual's race to being about an individual's shared diversity in the world we live in.
