Preferred term

race and gender  

Definition

  • Princeton scholar Cornel West and an American public that in 2008 elected its first African American president know that race matters. Although the debate remains regarding the use of the terms race and ethnicity as constructs to describe differences between and among individuals, it cannot be denied that the outward manifestation of such differences has had an impact on the political and economic treatment of individuals in American society and in other societies in general.
