[edit]Stuff to change:
- Instead of claiming race as something that is concrete, where the person's biology and upbringing are what shape racial identity, Omi and Winant suggest that race is something that is fluid, where "the racial order is organized and enforced by the continuity and reciprocity between micro-level and macro-level of social relations".
- Change ( take out part of the quotes and put into simpler terms): They refer to it as "racial order" that is able to have meaning and a varying system due to a result of the way that people choose to interact with one another in "micro-level and macro- level of social relations.
