ions Boas made between race, language, and culture that provided the foundation of a Americanist anthropology, with each term tending toward the provenance of a particular subdiscipline, (Visweswaran, p. 71). Although Boas was a very racist and prejudice man, he did influence much thought about culture and anthropology. When discussing the Negro problem in society in conjunction with anti-Semitism, (since he was a member if the Nazi party), he associated it with blood, since he is comparing blood towards a secondary race. His thoughts on the black population was that if they got enough white blood in their bodies through transmissions, that their colour would dissolve and become white, which would solve the racial and cultural problem. In other words, if culture which represents race and racial identity, were to be Aryan then the blood would be superior and the race would have high biological quality. A place where Boas wanted everyone to be the same and there would be no racial or cultural problems. With this new connection to anthropology, the American Anthropological Association, passed a resolution denouncing Nazi racism: Anthropology provides no scientific basis for discrimination against any people on the ground of racial inferiority, religious affiliation or linguistic heritage, (Visweswaran, p. 71). The solution is not to replace culture with race but to keep the two terms in contructivist tension with one another, (Visweswaran, p. 79).

Culture is something that society is taught and learned, while race is something biological, and something to be proud of. Boas and his ideas were not yet educated as to what culture means.
