ABSTRACT
For most of us that there are different races of people is one of the most obvious features of our social worlds. The term “race” is a vehicle for notions deployed in the organization of these worlds in our encounters with persons who are significantly different from us particularly in terms of physical features (skin color and other anatomical features), but also, often combined with these, when they are different with respect to language, behavior, ideas, and other “cultural” matters.
