Line 14:
Line 14: − − ===Biological=== − Modern biology acknowledges phenotypic and genotypic differences between groups of people. These differences may be obvious, like skin color, or non-obvious, like a difference in allele frequency. None of these differences ''within'' the species are as significant as differences ''between'' species. − − ===Sociological=== − Race is also viewed as a socio-political construct, used conveniently to justify certain political policies.

In constructing or deconstructing racial barriers, the law makes reference frequently to different kinds of "race." '''Cultural''' race is race based on a unique culture. Affirmative action post-''Grutter'' makes appeal to cultural race as a partial justification for affirmative action. '''Historical''' race makes references to the shared experiences of a people that have enhanced or degraded their status as community members. Creating an Israeli nation, for example, is a reference to the genocide & discrimination that Jews have endured as a historical race.
