How are race and ethnicity different?

Question

How are race and ethnicity different?

Answer 1

Race=genes, phenotype

Race=Asian, Caucasian, Black, Hispanic

Ethnicity=culture, background, tribal

Ethnicity=Kurds, Turks, etc.

Answer 2

The way it's been told to me is that race refers simply to where your ancestors came from; Africa, Europe, Asia, etc. It's a broad term. Ethnicity, however, is a much more specific term that describes where exactly you're from, your culture, etc.

So, although someone from Zimbabwe and a black person from Washington, D.C. are of the same race, they would not be of the same ethnicity. The person from Zimbabwe could be a member of the Shona ethnic group (the major ethnic group of Zimbabwe), while the person from D.C. is ethnically African-American.

Answer 3

The term race refers to the concept of dividing people into populations or groups on the basis of various sets of characteristics.[1] The most widely used human racial categories are based on visible traits (especially skin tone, cranial or facial features and hair texture), and self-identification.

An ethnic group or ethnicity is a group of human beings whose members identify with each other, usually on the basis of a presumed common genealogy or ancestry.  

Race is a broader classification of ethnicities.  For instance, the Asian race includes Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese etc. ethnicity.
