The Merriam-Webster dictionary (2013), defines race in a number of ways.
1. The act of running
2. A strong or rapid current of water flowing through a narrow channel
3. A contest or rivalry involving progress toward a goal
3. A breeding stock of animals
4. A category of humankind that shares certain distinctive physical traits.
The definition that we are most familiar with is at the very BOTTOM of the list. Why do we, as society, put so much EMPHASIS on race?
