"High-ability whites are less likely to report prejudiced attitudes and more likely to say they support racial integration in principle," said Geoffrey Wodtke, a doctoral candidate in sociology.

The images below are all screen shots from the fantastic American Anthropological Association website on race. The first five are designed to show how we take what is in reality a nuanced spectrum and turn it into racial categories. In this first image, they show how we could, conceivably, separate human beings into short, medium, and tall based on height: In this second image, they show how, by adding two additional figures, both taller than the tallest in the previous image, the way in which we designate people can easily change.
And this third image demonstrates how, when we actually consider all potential heights, where we draw the line between short and medium and medium and tall is arbitrary and, ultimately, not very useful.
