Is Race Really a Social Construct?

What does Nelson Mandela and Drake have in common? Or a White American and a Lebanese person? The answer depends entirely on where you're from and how your society defines race. In this video, we dive into the complex and often misunderstood concept of race. From the way South Africa distinguishes between Black and Coloured identities, to how the U.S. Census classifies Arabs as White, we explore how race is a social construct—not a biological fact. Backed by science and historical context, this video breaks down why race is not rooted in biology but in perception, power, and politics. Understanding this is essential to dismantling prejudice and promoting a more equitable society.
