             Racism may be defined as linking. Whereas people use the term race to refer to biological characteristics that distinguish one person from another, ethnicity and ethnic apply to cultural characteristics. Derived from the word ethnos (a Greek word meaning "people" or "nation"), ethnicity and ethnic refer to people who identify with one another on the basis of common ancestry and cultural heritage. Their sense of belonging center on nation of origin: or family names and relationships. People often confuse the term race and ethnicity. People use the term race to refer to supposed biological characteristics that distinguish one person from another; ethnicity and ethnic apply to cultural characteristics. .
             Ethnicity:.
             Ethnicity is multi vocal; for that reason it can be used on the one hand to decode a wide range of cultural symbols and on the other hand to unveil the structural position of an immigrant and ethnic community. Their sense of belonging may center on nation of origin, distinctive foods, dress, language, music, religion or family names and relationships. People often confuse the terms race and ethnicity. Members of ethnic groups tend to manipulate their ethnicity "to advance their personal interests and maximize their power".
             Culture:.
             Culture is one of the concepts that are sometimes easier to grasp by description than definition. For example, suppose you meet woman who has just arrived in the United States from Haiti. That the person's culture is different from yours is immediately evident. You first see it in her clothing, jewelry, make up and hairstyle. Next you hear it in her speech. It then becomes apparent by her gestures. Later, you may hear her express unfamiliar beliefs about the world or about what is valuable in life. All of these characteristics are indicative of culture, the language, beliefs, values, norms, behaviors and even material objects that are passed from one generation to the next.
