Ethnicity

 Ethnicity:-Ethnicity refers to the identification of a group based on a perceived cultural distinctiveness that makes the group into a “people.”

This distinctiveness is believed to be expressed in language, music, values, art, styles, literature, family life, religion, ritual, food, naming, public life, and material culture.

This cultural comprehensiveness-a unique set of cultural characteristics perceived as expressing themselves in commonly unique ways across the sociocultural life of a population-characterizes the concept of ethnicity.

It revolves around not just a “population,” a numerical entity, but a “people,” a comprehensively unique cultural entity. 

The concept of ethnicity contrasts with that of race, which refers to the perceived unique common physical and biogenetic characteristics of a population.
