Ethnic groups in Europe

The interview aimed to address the question of what role language plays in the ethnic identities of second generation immigrants. While there is a broad body of work on the subject of migration and language spanning several fields, including population studies and sociolinguistics, much of the associated literature is based on quantitative studies.

especially in black minority ethnic backgrounds.

Within these particular articles there are quasi-unnoticeable stigmas and fallacies concerning racial and ethnic divisions, that should not remain unapparent. It is imperative that society begins to cognize these seemingly inconspicuous racial and ethnic representations (which are generally accompanied by stigmatic and flawed connotations), and their potential consequences.
