What is the difference between race and ethnicity?

Q. I have looked at past questions and answers on this subject but I am still confused. Can someone please explain to me what is my race and ethnicity?
I am Hispanic as far as my parents and my skin color. But I was born in the US and raised speaking only English.

A. As far as I've read, there are only 3 races (Caucasoid, Mongoloid, and Negroid). There are many ethnicities. For example, my race is Caucasian, and my ethnic background is Ecuadorian, French-Canadian, and British.

YA is being stupid and censored me, even though I am NOT trying to insult anyone....ugh. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negroid


Are the liberals on Yahoo answers representative of liberals as a whole?
Q. Reading the questions and answers posted by liberal on this site it has become obvious to me that they are either 12 year old boys on their parents' computers or they aren't very smart. Some of the questions and answers are quite juvenile and you rarely get one from a liberal that is capable of abstract thought. Do you think the liberals on Yahoo answers representative of liberals as a whole?

A. Absolutely. Look at the OWS movement, it's all populated with the same libs that troll these boards!!!


Why are teens so looking forward to get their driver's license and drive?
Q. I read questions and answers from other teens on here that they're looking forward to taking driver's ed, getting their license, getting a car, and taking their friends out every weekend this summer. Are they totally oblivious that gasoline is skyrocketing, and will be $4 a gallon this summer, and probably $5 a gallon next year? And car insurance will cost more than twice what their parents pay for themselves combined.

A. Teens don't usually think about that stuff, because at 16, their parents are most likely paying for all of that, including the car itself.

On the other hand it is good to learn how to drive earlier, so they can be more independent.


What cable commercial has the little boy asking his parents tough questions?
Q. I saw a commercial the other day where a little boy asked his parents tough questions that they didn't have time to answer. Then the daughter looks up the info on her laptop and answers his questions immediately. It ends with the boy asking his parents another question, and the parents call for the daughter. What company is being advertised? Even more so, who is the actress who plays the mother?

A. It's for AT&T's DSL internet service.

It advertises the worst parents on the planet....I mean, really? It takes both parents to change a lightbulb, and one of them can't stop to help their son?
