Document Summary
^ people describe and define these differently, all very confusing. When you look at someone, you have stereotypes of someone . Stereotypical representations of ethnic identity, you can"t use them to say where someone is from because of the global mixing. That"s the problem with phenotypical identification, you can"t track them down . Your social identity answers both of those questions as a whole. And which characteristic do you think about when deciding who is part of us . It should become apparent that it is difficult to choose just one characteristic. Social identities depend on context, which again varies. Ethnic identity: specific attributes or societal institutions that make one group of people culturally different from others. Your ethnic identity is a part of your social identity. How do we choose in the us. There are many overlapping categories and divisions in almost every country . Race is just one way to categorize people.
