I'm gonna claim that all my truly deep and meaningful comments are in the later two-thirds of our conversation that got cut off. Yeah, that's my claim.

Are you gonna roll those out separately? Or will all those other deep thoughts just be between us?

In the interview with Julia Kennedy Jayes, I found it very interesting that our view points, on the questions you had asked her, are very similar. The first part is basically a lot of things we talked about in class in that she separates race and culture. She explains that race is mainly the biological aspects of a person as in what sets them apart from different people such as skin color, hair texture, and eye shape. Her way of describing culture is exactly how our class described it in that she describes it as basically being the culture we are born into also known to us as enculturation. This culture is what forms us into the persons we are to become in the future. Secondly I really liked her viewpoint on how social construct is a man made thing. I really love how she uses examples like kids and animals. As you know I am an animal lover and she was so right when she mentioned that animals don’t judge one another like humans do as in they don’t judge one another on what color their fur is or even the fact that they are different types. They live in harmony together despite those things that make them different. If only we can instill this in other people’s minds we wouldn’t be having this problem today.
