ethnicity and racial heritage
Ethnicity refers to the cultural, social, and historical characteristics that shape the identity of a particular group of people, including factors such as language, traditions, customs, and beliefs. It relates to individuals' shared experiences, values, and outlooks shaped by their common background. Racial heritage, on the other hand, refers to the biological and physical characteristics that are inherited from ancestors, particularly related to visible attributes such as skin color, hair texture, and facial features. It is primarily determined by genetic factors and can be used to categorize individuals into distinct racial groups.
