Biology does not support the classification of people into races, but the U.S. Census Bureau still collects information about race and ethnicity. What does this say about the concept of race in the United States?

Answer:

Race is important as it forms the concept of human experience in the United States.

Step-by-step explanation:

The race concept in the United State does not reflect in the genetic concept of Biology. The race and ethnicity concept is considered significant in social and cultural relationships and experience. Individuals are categorized into Black or African American, Whites, American Indian, Asian American, Hispanic, Native Hawaiian. Grouping into race and ethnics can help offset the effects of racial discrimination and nepotism.
