How have celebrities like Tiger Woods and others changed our perceptions of race and ethnicity?<\/p>\n<p>First of all many do not know the meanings of what many of the racial expressions mean. Ethnicity refers to statuses based on cultural heritage and shared \u201cfeelings of people hood.\u201d An ethnic Group is a category of people set apart from others because of distinctive customs and lifestyles. Minority Group is a category of people who are set apart for unequal treatment because of physical or cultural characteristics. Prejudice refers to preconceived judgments about a category of people. Racism includes beliefs and attitudes that on racial category in inherently superior or inferior to another.<\/p>\n<p>No matter where you go, you will receive some type of racial prejudice or discrimination. It\u2019s a sad fact that is still plaguing the United States today. But celebrities such as Tiger Woods, Halle Berry, Mariah Carey, Derek Jeter, and so on have opened up doors to people who never knew anything beyond there own ignorance. The fact that people of different ethnicities and minorities are \u201cpeople\u201d just like anyone else is a fact that many have not come to terms with.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"os-edithistory\">\n<ul>\n<li>Edited 1\/27\/2005 2:58 pm ET by sofreshnsoja<\/li>\n<li>Posted: 1\/26\/05 4:12 PM ET by sofreshnsoja<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, do people who define themselves as biracial and multiracial experience prejudice and discrimination?
