Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ethnic groups are based on social or cultural characteristics such as language, religion, customs, and traditions. Physical characteristics may also play a role, but they are not the defining factor. Citizenship is a legal status and does not necessarily indicate ethnic identity. Ethnic groups are recognized by others as distinct, even if there may be some overlap or disagreement about the boundaries of the group.
