Got me thinking

Very interesting and educational. Great discussion starter. I really learned a lot about other people and cultures. Disregard the negative reviews as they obviously didn't take the time to think about what the app is trying to convey. Just read the instructions at the beginning of the game. It explains that the "race" categories are just how people self identify. Of course there's no real biological definition of race (this is explicitly stated in the app). And the categories are there to make you think. So download this app and start thinking in a new way about people. The world will be a better place if more people did.
Pointless.

How are you supposed to guess there. Example: the Nigerian person identifying as black. Yes he's black, but he's also Nigerian. What so bad about claiming that? And the black vs African American. Can you not be both? Annoying.
Thought provoking

I just had to comment after an "anthropologist" claimed that we should ignore race because it's "only" a social construct. Clearly a physical anthropologist who slept thru cul-anthro 101. This person is also probably white because (as the app says) only white people have the luxury of ignoring race. The app itself is delightful. It raises a lot of interesting points. I only got a 1/10, which goes to show you how much self-identified race and perceived race can often vary.
Interesting and Incisive

As an Anthropology student, I found this app very interesting. It focused not only on the modern arguments for/against the racial categories on the US census, but on the personal reasons for choosing to identify as, say, "Black" rather than "African-American". I enjoyed the blurbs and quotes, and the developers clearly did their share of research, if the statistics presented hold up to reality. Although obviously not completely objective, this app does provide a peek into everyday people's thoughts on race in America.
Opened my eyes

Amazing app to learn about people. Keep on playing and watch for the themes. Wonderful way to combat ignorance and hatred because you learn why racism is so wrong and stupid.
Hillariously funny

I mean, it's gr8 that they made this, but there's so many flaws. Example: Nobody is really 'white' or 'black'. And Hispanic is a mix, so why is it it's own group now? Still a fun app.
