an ethnic group is a common origin and share their language and a history.This is only answer for ethnic groups.srry *-( racism is based on your physical traits. so what you look like, and ethnicity is based on what you identify yourself as. so simplisticly, racial groups are what other people catagorise you in (based on your physical demenor and look, e.g - 'black' 'white' 'brown' 'yellow' 'red' etc...) and your ethnic group is who you identify being, like you might share commonalities with certain ethnic groups for example be very cultural or religious and identify being a 'pacific islander' just because you were not born in the pacific islands or have pacific island parents or any such blood in you, if you feel you identify strongly with that group (for example - bing taught or brought up in a pacific household or around other pacific island families, children, churches etc.)you can identify yourself in that ethnic group. so therefore, its like saying - your race is fixed, remains unchangable - but, your ethnic group is how you relate to yourself. Extra info...another analogy is with sex and gender; sex is what you are. IT IS A FACT! you are either male or female. but gender refers to how you identify yourself.
