The idea of race and its impact on identity is significant. Race teaches people to follow cultural traditions and act a certain a way. Its an essential part in creating connections between other people.
I feel as though the connection that similar ethnicities create is the most positive use of race. It allows people to understand and relate to one another more than gender, age, or any other factor. People are able to build national pride and create a greater sense of community.
On the other hand, many people negatively use race to create stereotypes and statistics that misrepresent a race completely. To answer the discussion question, the census bureau should allow people to check multiple races. This would allow for a more accurate count of the population. Most people in America are immigrants and are becoming of mixed decent. It only makes sense that people should be able to claim who they really are and not just pick a favorite.
