Captions available
The idea
Ethnicity is a group sharing a common cultural or national heritage, often a language or religion. Race is categorization by physical characteristics or ancestry. This chapter's nation is an ethnicity or a people; the next chapter's is a group bonded by cultural attributes.
In practice
Belonging inside; exclusion by the group in power.
Where people slip
Discrimination has economic roots too.
