Why do Americans use the word race when they mean ethnicity?
- tokenadult 16y agoWhat privileges one definition of "race" (or of "ethnicity") over another? "The concept of race as used by the Census Bureau reflects self-identification by people according to the race or races with which they most closely identify. These categories are sociopolitical constructs and should not be interpreted as being scientific or anthropological in nature." http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/meta/long_68176.htm http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/meta/long_68176.htm
