"Race" is a universal concept that continues to raise a lot of attention in the society. Sociologists consider race to be social construction because it is not based on a natural scientific fact (Zevallos, n.d.). They consider it to be a concept that describes social meaning that is ascribed to the racial categories. Sociologists consider it to be a category of grouping people that have similar biological traits that the society considers socially significant. Therefore the categorization is important because that is how the society is. The absence of the biological differences is not what makes it a social construction to sociologists, but because of the differences that the people see which are brought about by their cultures
