Typologies of Race, Ethnicity, etc. Race = Face. One’s physical features resulting solely from genetic ancestry. May or may not include size and build. Racial typologies break down facial features into anywhere from 2 to more than 20 racial categories in rare cases. These are culturally—not scientifically—assigned categories. Ethnicity: Socially constructed categories pointing to culture (learned behavior). Language, religion, music, table (or no table) manners, etc.. Nationality: One’s citizenship; the name of one’s country. Sometimes crosses over into ethnicity (Palestinian, Kurd, Navaho, Hmong, Okinawan, Sinhalese, Tibetan, Inuit, etc.). Nativity: The act of being born somewhere.

Characterized by few categories. Colorism: Within groups that consider themselves to be racially or ethnically homogeneous, variable skin color affects resulting behavior. Characterized by many categories. Nationalism: The effect of someone’s flag, citizenship, or allegiance to political groups on your behavior towards them. Nativism/Colonialism: The effect of being (or not being) from the cultural setting in which an encounter takes place. Often has a highly ethnic dimension and is intertwined with racism. Sexism: The effect of someone’s physical and/or behavioral aspects of their sexuality on your behavior towards them.
