The first part of today’s episode concerns differentiating between ‘race’ and ‘culture’ to understand why certain groups tend to congregate and socialize. While race and culture follow similar lines, race is something you are born with and culture is something you learn. In familiarizing yourself with a culture, you may feel more accepted or at least less excluded when you encounter these groups.
