Race and Class

Race refers to groups of people distinguished by physical traits, often linked to ancestry, such as skin color or facial features. Class pertains to social and economic positions, determined by factors like income, occupation, and education, which influence access to resources and opportunities. Both race and class shape individuals’ experiences, opportunities, and social interactions, often intersecting in complex ways. Recognizing these concepts helps us understand societal inequalities and the importance of promoting fairness and inclusion across different groups.
