Answer 2

Answer:

The blank space must be filled in with the word "Race".

Explanation:

Race and ethnicity are not synonymous. Ethnicity is a group defined by the same origin, linguistic and cultural affinities, whereas race as a distinction between men is a socially constructed concept that there would be biological differences between the ethnicities.

The word ethnicity is derived from the Greek ethnos, which means "people who have the same customs". Race is a biological concept applied to subgroups of a species. The human species does not have subspecies or subcategories, and therefore it is not correct to say that there are different human races.

But there is still an understanding of the socially constructed common sense that different races correspond to the biological characteristics of ethnic groups. As for example, the black race that would be composed of those who have black skin, curly hair, among other phenotypic characteristics.
