Ethnic Groups
Ethnic discrimination in European countries especially in France where many policies are put into place to allow that assimilation of the society to prevent dilution of culture.
Minority ethnic groups not represented, common in many countries that are not multiracial
- However some countries, E.g. SG, Group Representative Constituency --> ensure representation of minority racial groups to ensure concerns/needs of minority group represented in Parliament (at least 1 from minority ethnic group contest in GRC)
- Needs/concerns of minority ethnic groups may be neglected --> unhappy minority ethnic groups --> social tension
- identify with each other based on aspects like common language, ancestry, history, society, culture, nation or social treatment within their residing area
-
Countries always taking steps to ensure that there is cultural preservation to preserve the country's national identity (policies put in place)
