4. Discuss the social bases of identity

i) Race/ethnicity/caste – It is a human group that is defined as being distinct by virtue of perceived and assumed immutable biological differences reflected in their physical appearance (skin colour, facial features etc.).
Examples of racial groups are – Afro-Americans referred to as “Black”
largely inhabiting Africa, Latin and South America and some parts of North America, Mongloids referred to as “Yellow” race inhabiting Central and East Asian, Caucasians referred to as “White” race found most specifically in Europe and North America. Ethnicity is a human group that is defined as being distinct by virtue of perceived and assumed cultural differences such as language and history. A Caucasian from United States may share certain racial characteristics with a Caucasian from France but the two will be different ethnically. They will speak different languages and have different traditions and practices. Caste is a social grouping divided on the basis of common ancestry and hereditary occupations. It is hierarchically organized and relations amongst castes are defined by the concept of purity and pollution. It is largely a South-Asian phenomena.
These social affiliations, imposed or self chosen, impact people’s sense of self. Racial and ethnic minorities _____ ____ _____ __________ __________.
