I feel that the new "PC" word for race is ethnicity. As I understand it serves pretty much the same purpose.

Ethnicity is defined primary through shared history and social grouping. Race is defined through genetics. They share some of the same, but are not the same.

Agreed. But I feel ethnicity is "used" in a way like "race".

> Race is defined through genetics.

Sure? I thought genetically race had a very weak basis, and that it was basically some aspects of bodily looks and location of genetical/blood origination? The main reason we needed ethnicity as a term, because race was "simply not there in the genes" and thus "mostly about looks" which gave it very little use in proper science.

I don't think I agree with second. Germans have clearly different culture, language, habits, preferences, values and humor then Czechs. Wo ha different all above from French.

A lot of it remains when group emirates but keeps being close knit.

That is ethicity.
