What will be an ideal response?
Feedback: The term racial–ethnic group refers to groups that are socially subordinated and remain culturally distinct within U.S. society. It includes (a) the systematic discrimination of socially constructed racial groups and (b) their distinctive cultural arrangements. The categories of African American, Latino, Asian American, and Native American have been constructed as both racially and culturally distinct. Each group has a distinctive culture, shares a common heritage, and has a common identity within a larger society that subordinates it. The racial characteristics of these groups have become meaningful in a society that continues to change.
