according to the sociologist melvin oliver in the documentary \the house we live in\
ace in itself means nothing - the markers of race, skin color, hair texture, the things that we identify as the racial markers, mean nothing unless______________________ that creates race.\ they are measured and quantified and recorded by geneticists that understand the biology of human subspecies. they are sampled, tested with chemicals, combined correctly, and any social meanings are removed from the categorization process. unless people know what culture they are in so that they have have the correct language for the real differences between racial groups that meet dna criteria in that culture. they are given social meaning and unless theres public policy and private actions that act upon those kinds of characteristics.
Sociology studies social structures and interactions. Race as a social construct gains meaning through social processes like public policy and private actions (not biological quantification, chemical testing without social meaning, or just cultural language about DNA - which are more biological or narrow - focused).
