Social constructionism about race

这个项目旨在表明，没有种族，只有种族主义的群体。种族曾被认为在生物学上是真实存在的，但越来越多的专家拒绝接受这一观点。现在，种族被普遍认为是一种社会结构，这通常被认为意味着种族是真正的社会群体。这个项目旨在证明，当种族在社会上被定义时，它就失去了概念和历史上的特殊性，种族分类应该完全被抛弃。该项目的一个预期结果是学术上和公众对种族分类的转变。这个项目开发并捍卫了种族主义群体这一类别，作为历史上最具误导性和最危险的想法之一的替代方案。

This project aims to show that there are no races, only racialised groups. Race was once thought to be biologically real, a position which is increasingly rejected by specialists. Now race is commonly believed to be a social construct, which is often taken to mean that races are real social groups. This project aims to demonstrate that when race is defined socially it loses its conceptual and historical specificity, and that racial classification should be abandoned altogether. An expected outcome of the project is a scholarly and public shift away from racial classification. This project develops and defends the category of the racialised group as an alternative to one of history’s most misleading and dangerous ideas.
