The End of Race

The End of Race What if the human beings races of the humankind all vanished into thin air? Thats what Steve Olson proposes in The End of Race Hawaii and the salmagundi of Peoples. According to the world everyone is made of a certain race. The two main races are White and menacing (Afri fag end American). But there are others as well, including American Indian (Alaska Native), Asian, Hispanic (Latino), Native Hawaiian (Other Pacific Islander), or Other. Most mess only identify as one corresponding to their birth parents, where they were born, or what they identify with the most from their own choice.Some people, even from one of our own states, go to such heights as to say that they are Mixed. Steve Olson believes that, Almost half the people who live in Hawaii now are of mixed ancestry. What it means to be mixed is not all obvious genetically, but for formal purposes it means that a persons ancestors fall into more than one of the six racial categories identified on the U. S . count forms.. Intermarriage is a cumulative process, so once an individual of mixed ancestry is born, all of that persons descendants also will be mixed.As intermarriage continues in Hawaii and already almost half of all marriages are between couples of different or mixed ethnicities the number of people who will be able to call themselves pure Japanese, or pure Hawaiian, or pure ashen (haole in Hawaii), will steadily decline (251). Races could truly end if everyone becomes mixed somehow. Collaboration could also sling races on their way to the dump. One man who has insight on collaborating is Bressler 2 Marshall Poe.In Poes The lay in he claims that, Wikipedia has the potential to be the greatest effort in collaborative knowledge gathering the world has ever known, and it may well be the greatest effort in voluntary collaboration of either kind (264). If that many people could come together and create a web site made of their own thoughts and opinions, who says that we can t all agree that races are over and done with? So with mixes of races and collaboration on what races are, it could in truth be the deadline for races. Biology, location, and affiliation could change whether race persists or not. -Community of Descent? Define Race and conception of Race -Why do ethnicities continue to function in society if race no longer has a biological basis? -U. S. Census Bureaus explanation of the racial categories used in the census taken every ten years -How is race represented on Hawaiis positive state government Web site at Hawaii. gov and Hawaiis tourism Web site at gohawaii. com? Any differences? Use race definition to support position. -School races persist in Hawaii agree to Olson. Locate Web site for some schools there and find evidence to support for Olsons program line or complicate it. -Ect on page 262 and 263 or on Ri9ghts and Bytes worksheet.
