While most Whites accept the idea that racism is just a part of the past, empirical evidence shows that this is not true. Which of the following is cited as an example of the persistence of racism in American society?
 
  a. the low levels of inter-racial marriages that still exist in the United States.
  b. media images that continue to portray certain racial and ethnic groups as criminal or welfare cheats..
  c. the low levels of educational attainment, particularly for Blacks, in American society.
  d. the over-representation of certain racial and ethnic groups in athletic endeavors.

Question 2

There are several reasons why the category of race is no longer considered to be identified as a meaningful force in American society because we really cannot discuss race in a pure sense anymore (due to the frequency of inter-relationships that have occurred). However, another reason the authors discuss for why social scientists and ordinary citizens have begun to shy away from race as a category to differentiate people is
 
  a. that people are uncomfortable with this category because it over emphasizes the power of these forces in society.
  b. because people have very little understanding of the difference between race, ethnicity, and nationality.
  c. because even using the word race has always had political meanings and uses.
  d. all of the above
