Differentiate between race and ethnicity and give two examples of each type of group.
What will be an ideal response?
Should define race(a socially constructed definition based on some real or presumed physical, biological characteristic, such as skin color or hair texture, as well as on a shared lineage. However, races are usually defined according to social and historical ideas about what has been deemed biologically important)
and ethnicity(socially defined, but based on some real or presumed cultural characteristic, such as language, religion, traditions, or cultural practices. Ethnic groups may define themselves based on their ethnicity, or they may be so defined by others). Examples will vary.
