Gender and Race

Does gender and race really matter? No matter what we say, society will always, in my opinion, will consider gender and race as an important factor. For example if you are white, it's thought to be a white woman rather than a black woman, the same goes for the man. If you are black, it's thought to be a man rather than a woman because women tend to have limitations. These limitations are most commonly dealing with child labor and less capability to handle certain things, and for this African American women tend to be at the bottom. On applications, we select gender, which would be male or female, and we select our race, most commonly black or white. Who do you think would get chosen for a high positioned job? A white woman or a black woman? A white man or a black man? Sad to say, the society we live in, most of the time the white woman or the white man would be chosen for the job. So saying that, whether we like it or not, agree or disagree, race matters in this society, even when it shouldn't.
