Race

With the rise of colonial expansion and imperialism, Europeans were inspired by their encounters with both culturally and physically different people to categorize them; thus leading to the creation of race. While the construction of race started off as harmless, it has been used to in the defense of cultural erasure and the oppression of Non-White racial groups.

Race, gender and class defines our experience. Studies have shown that, even though, these three aspects define who we are, they are interwoven. Each of these three aspects affects our decisions which could be either positive or negative. Class, race and gender as an individual is determined by our parents and If any of these changes, it would automatically change every aspect of the individual.

Race refers to the idea of identifying people into groups based on various physical characteristics. An ethnic group or ethnicity is a population whose members identify with each other based on shared social traits.

Race, its meaning can differ from person to person, but the Cambridge Dictionaries defined race as a group, particularly of people, with certain similar physical characteristics, who are considered to belong to the same type, or race could also mean the fact of belonging to such a group or those who share the same language, history, features, etc..
