Raça é realmente uma construção social?

In this video, we delve into the complex and often misunderstood concept of race, examining how it is a social construct rather than a biological fact. We explore how different societies—such as South Africa's distinction between black and mixed identities, the U.S. Census's classification of Arabs as white, and the categorization of figures like Drake—define race in varied ways. The discussion covers the myth of scientific racism, the history of racial realism, the simplification of genetically diverse populations into broad racial categories, and the distinction between race and ethnicity shaped by colonial histories. By grounding the conversation in science and historical context, the video explains why race is rooted in perception, power, and politics, and why understanding this is essential for dismantling prejudice and promoting a more equitable society.
