Ethnicity denotes a group of people who perceive themselves and are perceived by others as sharing cultural traits. The traits can be language, religion, family customs and food preferences. Race is perceived in the same way by people. However race possesses hereditary traits which are loosely bound together by historical and social elements. These elements are significant to a person's ancestry and/or morphology. (Lopez p.9) (Ore p.9).
