Apakah Ras Benar-benar Konstruksi Sosial?

In this video, we explore the complex and often misunderstood concept of race, examining how South Africa distinguishes between Black and Colored identities, how the U.S. Census classifies Arabs as White, and how race is a social construct rather than a biological fact. We discuss why race appears differently across countries and cultures, the myths of scientific racism and the history of racial realism, how figures like Drake are racially categorized differently in the U.S. and South Africa, why genetically diverse populations such as those in Africa or the Arab world are often grouped into simple racial categories, and the difference between race and ethnicity and how colonial history shapes both. Supported by science and historical context, the video explains that race is rooted in perception, power, and politics, and understanding this is essential to eliminate prejudice and promote a fairer society.
