Ethnicity
• Ethnicity is a sense of belonging, based on ideas of common origins (roots), history, culture,
experience and values.
• But it does NOT mean homogeneous or static.
Race
• The distinction between race and ethnicity is not always clear-cut.
• “Racial group” refers to those that have obvious physical difference (skin color, features,
hair color, etc).
• But what is “obvious physical difference”?
