Kanye is conducting a study considering the ways in which the category of "minority status" gets constituted through negotiated social interaction.He is most likely to be influenced by this sociological theorist:

A) Marx
B) Smith
C) Blumer
D) Parsons

Blumer is known for developing symbolic interactionism, which focuses on how people use symbols and negotiated meanings to create and interpret social interactions. This approach is well-suited for understanding how minority status is constructed and negotiated through social interactions. Marx's theories focus more on the role of economic structures and exploitation, Smith is an economist known for advocating for free-market capitalism, and Parsons is associated with structural-functionalism, which emphasizes the functions of social institutions in maintaining social order.
