Define discrimination and understand ways it can be experienced in leisure. Race: concerned with shared physical features such as skin colour or eye shape. Ethnicity: concerned with common cultural characteristics such as language, religion, traditions, ancestral origin, family patterns, and value systems. Racialized ethnicity: when a person uses a descriptor (ex. Chinese) to identify both their race and ethnicity. Social constructionism: considers knowledge to be derived from, and rely upon, social context; may differ from one society to the next - one period to the next. Visible minorities: persons, other than aboriginal peoples, who are non-caucasian in race or non-white in colour. Culture: a system of shared beliefs, values, customs, behaviours, and artifacts. Shared: sharing culture with other members of our group helps us to act in socially appropriate ways, as well as predict how others will act. Learned: culture is not biological - we don"t inherit it, we learn it. The process of learning culture is called enculturation.
