FINAL EXAM Language, Race, and Ethnicity

What is the difference between race and ethnicity

Race comes from a recognition of differences between groups

Differences between races are usually thought of through unequal power relations, and the same is not necessarily true between ethnicities

What are similarities between race and ethnicity

Both socially constructed categories

Both indexical

Both come with stereotypes and have powerful societal consequences
