Race and Ethnicity – What’s the Difference? Though there are similarities between race and ethnicity, there are also a number of differences, which demand that we examine race and ethnicity separately. Especially when working with immigrant youth of color, their examination of identity may be very nuanced and complex as they struggle to find both a racial and ethnic identity. According to research, as the number of generations increases in the family, racial identity takes on more importance than ethnic identity for multiethnic youth.
