  3. Though it’s been debunked, “race—both as a social construct and scientific concept—is still deeply embedded in morphology... Race, defined biologically in terms of morphological differences between certain pure types as been re-inscribed in the new computer technology of ‘morphing’” (109).

  4. “In this technology persons of different races are not produced as a result of sexual intercourse between persons of two different races but by a computer-generated simulation of the mixing of genetic characteristics that are presumed to be determinants of morphological differences between pure racial types” (109).

  5. “[Sim Eve] is the representation of the desire to deny kinship and retain masculine power based on the maintenance of racial difference”(120).

  6. David Barboza: “Ogre to Slay? Outsource it to the Chinese”
