Race, Ethnicity, and the Cultural Landscape: Crash Course Geography #29

Sometimes culture can seem invisible like when we’re surrounded by signals that tell us we’re with others who are like us, but if we live or travel somewhere where the traits that define social norms are not our traits, culture can suddenly seem everywhere. In the next few episodes, we’re going to start exploring the fundamental aspects of culture and how those with and without power are affected by culture, from cultural mixing to cultural violence. We’ll also discuss the differences between race, ethnicity, and culture, and help you can spot the warning signs that often lead to xenophobia, racism, and genocide.
