A racial group refers to groups with biologically inherited characteristics. This means caucasian or mongoloid. Ethnic groups refer to a sense of identity around a cultural tradition. These groups are unique and distinguishable by language, religion, dress, etc. My best friend is taiwanese and her mom moved here from her island 30 or more years ago.
