provide a response to the following paragaph what intrigued me most was group boundaries in a nation are not only demarcated by race. For example, in Canada language worked as a social definition of the Quebecois to define group boundaries between the French-speaking majority and the English-speaking minority. Overemphasis on a French-Canadian culture in Quebec and overlooking the English-Canadian culture has been of great concern for the English-speaking minority who have lived in Quebec since the 1700s, and for people living outside Quebec. Tensions of separation and secession led to the government making French the official language in Quebec and the language for transactions, which made the English-speaking minority alienated. This is also proved by the construction of new racial categories like mestizos in Mexico, mulattos in Brazil, which is a mix of different racial ancestry. Along with this, these new categories that are created are placed in the already existing racial hierarchy
