From âethnicâ food to âethnicâ fashion the idea of ethnicity has been employed as a positive phenomenon in contemporary life but more importantly, as post-colonial nation-states have defined their distinctive identities, ethnicity has been frequently invoked as a primordial basis for nation-building (Downing, & Husband, 2005).

This actively demonstrates that race, class, and gender are not additive models, but rather, constitutive models. Similar to...
