How easy is it to group people into “races” based on appearance? What about using individual traits? Does everybody classify the same way? Try your hand at “sorting” individuals and see if it matches how people think of themselves. Or explore how we might sort people by physical traits.
I only got 2 right.

I was browsing and came upon your site. Fun game! I got one of each category (4) right. I’ve enjoyed reading through your blog. Will be back.

7 right, almost none of the ones I was pretty confident about… but if they´d had a “multiracial” category I´d have put them all in there. Interesting.
