Media creates meaning about race and ethnicity, and plays
an important role in shaping the way we understand race and
ethnicity as part of our identity, our history, our social
institutions, and our everyday lives.
Often used interchangeably, Race is a way of classifying
individuals and groups on the basis of physical
characteristics, particularly one’s skin color.
Ethnicity delineates one’s place of origin or nationality, one’s
cultural background or ancestry, one’s language and by
extension, one’s belief system.
