Race to me is such a big question that really there is no answer to it is all depending on how someone perceives race and that is ally by someones skin tone but at the same time society hits us with a whole different answer to race as well. Race is socially constructed because they have taught us how exactly to look at race and how we are supposed to think someone belongs to a certain race. Characteristic usually is what somewhat tells me of someones race or even by an accent and usually someone will tell you how their family acts of the roots and then it supports more of what exactly I will think. We rely more on culture and ethnicity to determine on what and who a person particular is and that is why race is such a confusing topic to get answer out of.
