Assignment:

How did "Science" misinterpreted the meaning of race by using flawed methodologies and biased interpretations of data to support pre-existing racist beliefs. This led to the false notion of inherent racial differences in intelligence, athleticism, and other traits? Explain how race is a social construct, not a biological reality. It's a powerful illusion because it has been used to justify social inequalities and oppression throughout history. The film supports this by showing how racial categories have changed over time and vary across cultures.
