    Race is defined by physical characteristics like appearance and skin color, while ethnicity relates to cultural factors such as nationality, culture, language, and beliefs. For example, Caucasians typically have light skin and eyes with thin lips and noses, but there are many ethnicities within the Caucasian race including Irish, German, and French people. These ethnic groups differ based on their country of origin, language, culture, traditions, and beliefs. Race relations in America refers to interactions between major race groups such as white, black, Latino, and Asian people, though Asia encompasses many ethnicities, and America has also experienced ethnic strife during immigrant waves from Ireland and Italy.

    RACE AND ETHNICITY

    The traditional definition of race and ethnicity is related to biological and sociological
    factors respectively. Race refers to a person's physical appearance, such as skin color,
    eye color, hair color, bone/jaw structure etc. Ethnicity, on the other hand, relates to
    cultural factors such as nationality, culture, ancestry, language and beliefs.
    For example, take the Caucasian race. The physical characteristics of Caucasians were
    described by M. A. MacConaill, as being "light skin and eyes, narrow noses, and thin lips.
    Their hair is usually straight or wavy". Caucasoids are said to have the lowest degree of
    projection of the alveolar bones which contain the teeth, a notable size prominence of the
    cranium and forehead region, and a projection of the midfacial region. A person whose
    appearance matches these characteristics is said to be a Caucasian. However, there are
    many ethnicities within the Caucasian race e.g. Irish, Welsh, German, French, Slovak etc.
    What differentiates these ethnic groups from each other is their country of origin,
    language they speak, cultural heritage and traditions, beliefs and rituals.
    "Race relations" is one of the dominant themes in American politics from time to time, and
    refers to relationships between the major race groups - white, black, Latino and Asian. Note
    that use of the word "Asian" as a race includes a vast variety of ethnicities such as Chinese,
    Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese. America has also had a sometimes troubled history with
    ethnic strife e.g. during the waves of Irish and Italian immigration to the U.S. These
    immigrants were Caucasian but had a different ethnicity compared to the Anglo Saxons
    who preceded them, and were forced to face ethnic discrimination.
