Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Co-cultures are groups of people who are connected by their shared cultural heritage but exist alongside the mainstream culture. This term acknowledges that these groups are not separate from the dominant culture, but rather, coexist with it. While ethnicities and nationalities are related to culture and heritage, they do not necessarily connote the same idea of coexisting within a larger society. Races are also not the best choice as they are a socially constructed concept and do not necessarily have a direct connection to cultural heritage.
