In the text, the legacy and status of several racial groups in the United States were discussed. Discuss a few reasons why it can be useful to lump several categories of people into one racial group and why it can be problematic. Use specific examples.
What will be an ideal response?
Varies. Can mention African Americans, Asian Americans, Latinos/as, Arab Americans, White ethnics, American Indians, or multiracial Americans. Can be useful for exposing inequalities. Can be problematic because there is great diversity within groups that are glossed over--for example, vast language differences among Asians.
