Race And Ethnicity Analysis

In people views, the terms of race and ethnicity are very similar in the way that other responds to one another, but it quite different. The term race has been referred to groups who have differences ad any similarities in their biological traits deemed by the society for being socially significant to other, meaning that people will treats other differently because of who they are. For example, people who have differences and any similarities in eye color would not get treated differently, but those who have different skin pigmentations have.
