(American Anthropological Association) The American Anthropological Association has created the exhibit, "Race-Are We So Different? [2]" as a way to challenge the way people think about race. The exhibit explores race through the lens of history, human variation, and lived experiences.

Discussion Questions
  • How does race affect the way a person is perceived?
  • Is race an important factor in identity? Why or why not?
  • What is the relationship between race and discrimination?
  • What are prominent myths about race? Who has perpetuated these myths?
  • Where do stereotypes about race come from?
