•Race – A group of people who have been identified as having real or alleged physical characteristics. It is the fact that these biological traits are endowed with social meaning that brings them into the realm of the social sciences.

•  Ethnicity – refers to people who share common cultural characteristics and ethnic identity; they share a sense of “oneness”, and a shared fate.  

•Prejudice – an attitude which predisposes an individual to prejudge entire categories of people unfairly. This attitude is rigid, often emotionally loaded, and resistant to change; “re-fencing” and closed mindedness.

•  Discrimination is a behavior resulting in unfair, unequal, or harmful treatment based upon a prejudice.

•  One may confront discrimination by focusing on attitudes, behaviors, or both. It is usually most effective to begin with the discriminatory behaviors in order to provide some relief for those discriminated against. The official organs of the state must support these efforts to eliminate discriminatory behaviors or they will most likely continue; institutional discrimination.

•Salience Principle – we categorize people on the basis of what appears initially prominent and obvious- that is, what is salient- about them.
