Ruminations on Cyber-Race by Jerry Kang

In the tutorial presentation, I began with a question:
‘Have you being racial discriminated before?’
But seems like none of my classmate being raced by someone. In my presentation I did point out the major argument from the reading and try to explain to my classmate.
How we map each other into racial categories?
- Our law and culture provide a list of racial categories
- We collect data through our senses to map the individual to a category
- Mapping triggers meanings – cognitive beliefs about and affective reactions to people in these racial categories.
Moreover, I did explain those three racial mechanics. Abolition, Integration and Transmutation. However, after study this article, I think no matter which method we try to present the ‘RACE’ or re-define ‘RACE’, there is always have the racial unequal treatment, and keep reinforce the stereotype of the mediated race distinctions. The discrimination and unequal are also exist.
