Throughout this past week we have been talking about race and how it relates to society. i never knew that race was something that we all created in our own heads. but i don't think that its something we have created individually but society has shaped us to think about race in a certain way. This goes back t a few chapter ago when we talked about how society impacted the choices we make and how we live our lives. After reading that article i realized that race was not biological but instead something we create. I thought the story about how in Brazil they have many different names for a certain race that we might only call "black". This was an eye opener because i never knew why my old soccer coach never referred to the African American kid on our team as black. That coach grew up in Brazil and lived there most of his life and even played for the Brazilian National Team with Pele. He came to America and was a great soccer coach but his Brazilian ways came with him. He never called the African American kid black or even colored. He had a specific name for him and everyone on the team called him that. i dont remember the name but i asked him once what it meant and he said that back in Brazil it was a common name for the people of that color. I was surprised but also confused because i had no idea that your race changes depending on where you live or go.
