The social group a person belongs to, and either identifies with or is identified with by others, as a result of a mix of cultural and other factors including language, diet, religion, ancestry, and physical features traditionally associated with race. Increasingly, the concept is being used synonymously with race but the trend is pragmatic rather than scientific. (From: R Bhopal, 2004.
