Race & Ethnicity

Race is about your physical characteristics or ancestry, like skin colour, eye shape, facial features or hair texture.

Ethnicity is to do with culture, language, traditions, etc.

Some people are discriminated against, attacked or bullied because of their race or ethnicity. This type of behaviour is unacceptable.

If you’d like more information about race or ethnicity, you could try speaking to a trusted adult or contacting us on the Meic helpline.
