Why do race has the biggest effect on a person identity

In addition to their different assessments of the current state of race relations and racial inequality in the United States, Americans across racial and ethnic groups also see race and ethnicity playing out differently in their personal lives. On balance, blacks are more likely to say their race has hurt, rather than helped, their ability to get ahead. Among whites, Hispanics and Asians, more say their race or ethnicity has been an advantage than an impediment.

Because there are lot of people in one race, therefore there’s gonna be stereotypes in every race taht say, “oh her personality is like every other white girl. Because she’s white” but that’s not true, and it goes the same for blcak and Asian people.
