Although people may be from different racial or ethnic groups they can still have similar characteristics e.g. blood group.
8.	People who are racist will often highlight the differences between the different racial and cultural groups, and use these differences as a means of discrimination. Use the information you have gained in this lesson to write a paragraph on similarities between racial and cultural groups, and how these may be used to benefit humankind.

Although racist people discriminate on the basis of racial and cultural groups, similarities can be found between all racial and cultural groups in their blood groups. Donating or receiving blood has got nothing to do with colour of skin or ethnic background. It is of great benefit to humankind that any person, white, black or Asian can donate to e.g. an Asian person, provided their blood types are compatible.
