White ethnicity

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gans viewed white ethnicity as contributing to individual identity, but not as creating or sustaining strong ethnic group ties. He saw white ethnicity as being more of a symbolic identity rather than a deep, stable identity, and noted that it often coexisted with other identities such as religious or regional affiliations. Finally, Hispanic Americans are not typically included in the category of white ethnicity, as Hispanic is considered an ethnicity in its own right.
