All minorities are diverse yet they all have the same thing in common they are considered minorities because of

The Slavic people originated in the early 5th century. They

When dribbling the ball in soccer you should always look at how the players communicate and let each other know who’s doing what‚ where‚ when‚ and how.

Another thing the book stated which made me think a lot is the comment about race. It said that race is a social construct‚ not a scientific or biological fact. It was interesting learning about how race developed into a hierarchically issue. Race and ethnicity are different things and people do not realize the differences between the two.
