Race is socially constructed and it is created in a false manner intended to mislead people. I will be writing about racial topics and segregation. Through research three main points come to mind; is race a way to segregate each and every one, race and gender is a very unfair and sensitive topic, and how race is simultaneously constructed by history.

Race is a way to segregate each race from one another. The system operates differently everywhere you go but there is always one common conflict which is segregation between races. Articles like The Black Diaspora in Costa Rica by Bourgos Philipe. He argues how the blacks were more favored in British West Indies than the Latinos. To make long story short blacks were more favored because they had similar cultural ideology, language and values. But most of all they knew their racial structure. They had more opportunities than the native Costa Rican’s blacks had more opportunities they worked in the fields get paid decently and also able to own land. Which also leading to create a black middle class. Another article makes a similar argument. The Indian-white boundary in South Dakota by Thomas Biolsi, he argues how Native American Indian weren't treated as citizens. They were so segregated that they had to negotiate benefits from the American government.  Segregated to the point that a state trooper could only arrest non-Indians, and a tribal officer could only arrest an Indian not a white man. South Dakota government enforced the idea of “the one drop rule”. This means that either you were white or you’re not. This applied to blacks and Indians; one is not a little bit black. If you had black or Indian blood and had blonde and blue eyes you still was considered colored and non-white. 

So yeah i only got to this part....
