Preferred term

deficit model of ethnicity  

Definition

  • The phrase deficit model of ethnicity refers to the process in which people's authenticity as members of an ethnic group is examined by others. The reason for the name lies in the process through which a person's legitimacy or authenticity as a member of an ethnic group is questioned or seen as “deficient.” This process involves the subtraction of “legitimacy points” from a person based on the absence of ethnic or cultural characteristics that are deemed as primary or “fundamental” for group members to have.
