The film: The power of an illusion; the differences between us

Human beans are different; we classify people by their hair texture, skin colour and eye shape. Race is real.

In a research students had to test their genes to classify themselves and to see to what racial group they belong to. Students had been asked to give a sample of their blood to test it and compare it with other student’s blood to see whether their genes are similar or different. A white male had been asked which of the students in this group do you think you are more likely to be similar to and which student in this group you think you are different from, he replied my genes would be more similar to the white male student and the most different is the black student.

Surprisingly the results show that this white student male’s genes are more similar to the black student’s genes and different than the white male student’s genes, so we are similar even though we look different.

This research shows that we have been mixing over the years and generations, there is no pure race
