Race

This week in sociology, we learned about race. We learned that "race" is actually just made up and it isn't a real thing. If a person has one black parent and one white parent, in America they're still automatically considered black. For example, Barack Obama isn't 100% black, but since he has some black in him, he is considered the first black president. So this is weird to me, because if a black person has some white in them, they aren't considered white, they are still black.
