        it’s time for your lesson of the day: race is made up. I remember top gear making fun of the French being called racist as a kid, and that was the first time I really realized that everybody has their own idea about race.

        there was a period of time where only black or white people could become American citizens, and people of various ethnicities would have to petition the courts to be declared white. Slavs and Scandinavians and Italians had to gain white status through the American courts…

        race is made up.
