The Children of the Future. Sara Ceraso, Post 5

The whole candy bowl, salad, or melting pot theory, are all good for a certain amount of time. But they still are all categorizing. Someone brought up in class that those theories, although trying to teaching "good classification" teaches classification non the less.

It made me start to think. When kids are little, they don't see black, white, asian, or other differences within race and ethnicity, they see someone who like to play with the same toys that they do, or someone who's mom makes them the same lunch. What would happen if race and ethnic differences were never brought up to children. Would kids grow up even noticing. No obviously people from older generations would influence a child's thoughts in the matter, but what if they didn't. Our texts says that most ethnic groups are socially constructed. So what if society never constructed them.

Obviously this is a really far fetched theory, but I just wonder, could it ever happen?
