Distinguish between ethnicity and race

What will be an ideal response?


Ethnicity is the group's common heritage and cultural traditions, usually having national and religious origins; members may or may not have the same racial background; there are Jews of African origin, for example. Race categories are generally based on physical factors and may or may not be shared among ethnic groups. For example, many Asians might be classified in the same group racially but be Muslims from Indonesia. Generally, ethnic categories are more useful than racial categories.
