Biological race is based on skin colour. There is no real biological difference between us, as we are all human and can all interbreed with no impact. It is simply a difference in skin color. Social race has to do with in part religion, social status and education. The Jewish people are often called a race but this is a misnomer. The wealthy are often called a "" and this too is a misnomer. Race in these cases is used to define a sociological grouping. |
