So, is this where I am to post my answer to the question "Based on what we have discussed so far, are there races in Kenya?"
In class we discussed evolution theory that attempts to give a scientific explanation to the existence of different races. We talked about how racial groups can be defined differently in physical (visual), social, political, and geographical ways. We watched a short movie that told us that racial groups have not been separately defined genetically or biologically.
The myriad ways that RACE can be defined makes this question difficult to answer. For the purpose of this assignment I will assume that races only exist when there are social, political, or other prejudices against a particular group. Another way of describing this view would be to say that if there were no differentiations made between races, races would not exist. Race is only defined by racism. As I believe that racism does exist in Kenya, I will answer that yes, there are races in Kenya.
