A married couple, friends of my parents', are staying with my family at the moment, and they haven't seen me in quite a while. As such, they're interested in what I've been doing at school. Tonight at dinner, my mom's friend K* asked me what my favorite class was at school this past year. I replied that I had really enjoyed my anthropology class and my history class - Race as the History of an Idea.
To which my father replied, "Race isn't an idea. It's a skin color."
Oy.
