Race has to do with a personĀ“s physical characteristics, such as color of skin and eyes, type of hair,etc. ; whereby Ethnicity has to do more with the cultural factors of the person, such as language and nationality; in other words ethnicity factors have more to do with culture in a given geographic region.
