Social scientists assert that race is a social construct. By that they mean values and ideas about race arise and perpetuate themselves through social situations. As Montejano aptly puts it, "Although race situations generally involve people of color, it is not color that makes a situation a racial one. . . . [T]he race question . . . represents an arena of struggle and accommodation. . . . [I]t comes into being when these ideas and sentiments are publicly articulated and institutionalized

Often the goal in any interaction is to create a "front" that idealizes the actor's persona to conform with the socially sanctioned norms of the particular situation the actor finds him/herself in and de-emphasize those traits that are considered aberrant. In order to establish these social identities, individuals will attempt, not always successfully, to control communication and information about themselves through performance.

The difficulty with impression management is that an individual can only control so much of the other actors' perceptions. For example, a minority student may dress, speak, exhibit body language and facial expressions that are all socially exemplary, but there is little they can do to overcome the pre-conceived notions that the other actors hold about that individual based on the color of her skin, i.e. their auxiliary traits

Sociologists Helen and Everett Hughes see the social creation of ethnic differences in this way: An ethnic group is not one because of the degree of measurable or observable differences from other groups; it is an ethnic group, on the contrary, because the people in it and the people out of it know that it is one; because both the ins and outs talk, feel, and act as if it were a separate group

As Tim Wise writes, by obscuring the way in which race permeates interactions at every stage of a student's life, and instead focusing on colorblindness- by treating low income students of color the same way as low income students who do not face racism or treating these students like students of higher SES-we ignore the social context within which low income students of color (or for that matter, high income students of color) must learn

Olivas takes issue with words like "pool" and "pipeline" to describe the available population of URM students available for higher education, preferring the term "river." While pool and pipeline connote finite sources of students, river allows for the possibility of a variety of sources in which a student could enter the river-tributaries, ponds, puddles, streams. The metaphor could go on and on, but the point is, long before the stagnate population of URM college applicants, we might consider how creative we are in bringing individuals to the proverbial water

To state more plainly, Sander claims that a universal SES affirmative action program would benefit the truly needy, those students of all shades whose parents do not possess the status, income, and wealth of the upper echelons of the college educated elite. Therefore, I would be curious to see the representation of blacks and Hispanics in the 50th-90th percentile, bottom half and bottom quartile, as comparison groups to the control group of whites in the top 10%, or top quartile or top half of the SES

My response is twofold. First, these types of students are not exempt from the contemporary contextualization discussed infra section one. Second, while their scores may be higher than other minorities landing them a place in the most elite schools, it could be that they are not experiencing the social contingencies that create negative stereotype threat and underperformance.
