Answer to Question 1

Neither anthropologists nor biologists can agree on the number of races that exist. The number ranges from two to two thousand. The author discusses European Americans, Latinos, African Americans, Asian Americans, and Native Americans. These classifications are inadequate for a number of reasons. European Americans share their whiteness but have numerous ethnic differences. Latinos are a diverse group with little unity except for the Spanish language. Referring to a Spaniard as being a Puerto Rican is a tremendous insult. Everyone who is black is not necessarily African American, and white South Africans who immigrate to America are rarely called African Americans. Japanese have little in common with the Chinese or Vietnamese. There are more than 150 different Indian tribes in America, each with a different language and different customs.
