As many scholar in the Shreeve article point out, the term race is so changeable depending on thinking of it from biological, cultural, or other point of view that the concept of definition of race is hard to understand. Among those different scholars' opinion, Shreeve quote the Smouse's idea that race depends what kind of information you choose and racial difference mostly does not matter.
It does make sense that which race we may belong to is influenced by what rule we obey or what kind of rule we choose. At that point, I agree with him. In my opinion, however, this article just tells us about there is no clear definition of race. When we apply his idea to the current situation, this article is not useful because it just summarize different scholar's opinion. So, we have to consider for ourselves what to do in order to solve the racial problems like discrimination or immigrant caused by different points of view about race.
