Halloween. 31st October.

Today, we had an ARW class about race.
(some people include me attended the class with costume.)
First, we took off our shoes and separated into 3 groups by foot shapes.
One group was considered as superior to other group by the foot shape by our teacher, and we made disgusting and shameful name for other group.
Then, we were separated into 2 group by ears shape.
One group was considered as more intelligent than other group by our teacher.
Same thing have been happening around the world, our teacher said.
Some people have been saying "they are inferior to us, because they are black".

After that, we discussed about whether there is "race" or not.
I think there is race, but there is no connection between race and one's ability.
It's over generalization.
However, as history shows, race has been connected with one's ability like black and white.
Some people ask, for example, when Japanese woman get married with American man and have children, what is the race of that children.
I can answer the question, they are American-Japanese.
Then, if American-Japanese people get married with Italian people and have children, they are American-Japanese-Italian.
So, in that situation, we might say it's meaningless, if there are 1million people, there should be 1million races.
I agree, that's right, but that claim doesn't prove " there is no race".
I think there is race as a category, and it's not that problem.
The problem with race is that the assumption which race is connected with one's ability without rational reason.
