Your Thoughts on Race

So this post is kinda different then some of the ones that I have had before. I would like to hear what ya'll think. I was in my Sociology of Sport class yesterday and we were talking about race. This is a topic that I find particularly interesting. As most of you know I have a Mother who is White and a Father who is Hispanic. This has always been interesting to me. I consider myself Hispanic, yet I grew up in a very White American home as far as culture is concerned. I don't look very Hispanic as far as most Hispanics are concerned and I never really identified with Whites either. I have always been very middle of the road and never truly identified with any particular race. So in our class the question was asked, "Did God create the different races." I'm sure that some of you would never have imagined this question arising in a class but as a Mormon going to a Catholic school it brought a very welcomed discussion. According to the professor he only created Adam and didn't create any race in particular. I disagreed because I said that God did create the races when he put the curse on Cain and also the Laminites. So I would love to hear what others think about this.
