Race- Not as simple as it is spelt

Winant and Miles are very interesting with the way they break down race. Very similar in thoughts with a few differences. Their  notion of “race” is very similar to my perspective of race. Race being an ideology, something that exists because we make it come alive in our everyday practices today. Who gives us the right to shove people in to different racial categories without also considering their feelings? We as human beings go under what’s “real” and “false” whether it can be proven or not. Why are we still debating race and the ethics of racism is we can’t even prove scientifically the traits of different races. It just draws to the conclusions that we could be absurd human beings with using science only when it comes efficient and convenient for us.
