Which of the following statements correctly reflect the sociological understanding of racial categories and minority groups? (Select all that apply)

Racial categories are social constructs, meaning they are created by society rather than based on clear biological differences. This means that how we define race can change over time and varies across different cultures. Minority groups are defined not just by their numbers but also by their social power and the way they are treated in society. For example, a group may be large in number but still be considered a minority if they lack influence or face discrimination. Understanding these concepts helps us see that race and minority status are more about social dynamics than physical traits.
