Preferred term

ethnicity and networks  

Definition

  • In the United States, the concept of ethnicity—a term that refers to a group's culture and origins—has merged with the related concept of race, a socially constructed category purportedly tied to genetic background, in practice loosely based on skin color, facial features, hair, ancestry, and family background. Because kinship networks tend to be monoracial, and workplaces, schools, and neighborhoods are often segregated, people tend to be embedded in racially homogenous social networks.
