Cultural Diversity/Race and Ethnicity

Race and Ethnicity is about the universal social inequality in our society. It is also a huge part of our social stratification. Dating back to our ancestors up until modern time, it reflects culture and heritage differences in each individual. In the US alone, race and ethnicity is explosive. It signifies our skin color, hair texture and even facial feaures. With a vast amount of races within our society, only three really comes to mind. White or Caucasian, black or Afro American and Latino or Hispanic. The mixture of races now make our society more complex than ever, in my opionion. A perfect example of this is prejudice and sterotypes, a seperation in a social class, and gender differences. We need to start looking and treaing each other as human beings first.
