Question

Why do you think most white people exaggerate the minority population of this country. Do you think people tend to see race in terms of biological traits or as categories constructed by society?

Answer 1

Solution:-

There is a tendency for White people to exaggerate the minority population of the United States because by doing so, it becomes easier to ignore the struggles they face as members of a minority community. By exaggerating the presence of the minorities, the White population envisage equal status in their nation and therefore assume a more passive position with respect to the minorities. In many cases, the special status given to minority communities are perceived as threats to the Whites, and there is an interest in the latter group to deny the minority status of the former.
