The term 'race' originates out of Biology. It implies a genus that can breed amongst each other.

Ethnicity, or an ethnic group, refers to a group of people that share a common culture, geographic region, ancestry, etc.

In other words, ethnicity is what people wrongfully refer to when saying 'race'. However, we humans belong to the same genus, or race, and so we can interbreed with each other. Therefore, we are ONE race with many ethnic groups.

Race refers to physical characteristics such as skin color, while ethnicity refers to cultural factors such as nationality or language. Race is often used to categorize people based on visible traits, while ethnicity is more focused on shared customs and traditions within a group.

What does the term AC and BC stand for in the Bible?

In terms of calendar dates, BC means "Before Christ". The current calendar (for most parts of the world) is based (with some errors in the original calculations) on the birth of Christ. More and more, you will see dates indicated with BCE or B.C.E. instead of BC. BCE means "Before Common Era" and means exactly the same thing in terms of years, without the religions connotation. AC and CE would do for "After Christ", or "Common Era".
