In this country, people come from a lot of different cultures and there are many different words to describe the different backgrounds or ethnic groups that people come from. Some examples of the names of ethnic groups are Mexican American, Latino, Black, Asian American, American Indian, Anglo, American, and Caucasian. Every person is born into an ethnic group, or sometimes to two or more groups, but people differ on how important their ethnicity is to them, how they feel about it, and how much their behavior is affected by it.
