Amazing how you can put toddlers in a room and they'll play with each other without even once considering what their 'race' is. Put adults in the same room and it's a completely different story... |
In school, it is relevant because there are differing performance levels among what we identify as "races" even when controlling for other factors such as poverty and so on. If we are to address this performance gap, then it is necessary to have data to work with. Even if race maybe isn't the most accurate term.
