Encyclopedia > At the Races

At the Races is a United Kingdom television channel, formerly run by Channel 4, but now owned by British Sky Broadcasting.


The station is focussed on horse racing, showing many races and related shows. It is broadcast on Sky Digital channel 415, and is "affiliated" with various betting companies, since gamblers are generally the sports main audience.

What is Race? (996 words)
One's race is not determined by a single gene or gene cluster, as is, for example, sickle cell anemia.
Congress' anachronistic understanding of race is exemplified by a 1988 statute that explains that "the term 'racial group' means a set of individuals whose identity as such is distinctive in terms of physical characteristics or biological descent." (1) The Supreme Court, although purporting to sever race from biology, also seems incapable of doing so.
Race is neither an essence nor an illusion, but rather an ongoing, contradictory, self-reinforcing process subject to the macro forces of social and political struggle and the micro effects of daily decisions.
