Steve is a white american whose family has lived in the united states for 200 years. during the olympics, steve cheers for britain in swimming, because, he says, "i'm british! " during soccer, he cheers for sweden, saying, "i have some swedish in me, too! " steve is displaying:
a. white racial identity. b. externally imposed ethnicity. c. symbolic ethnicity. d. exclusive white ethnicity.

The correct answer is C. Symbolic ethnicity

Explanation:

The term "ethnicity" refers to an individual's love, pride and belonging to a specific ethnical group (individuals that share history, beliefs, traditions, etc). In the case of "symbolic ethnicity," this implies the individual does not necessarily integrate all the beliefs, values, traditions, etc. in his daily life but these are still part of the individual's heritage. This concept is displayed by Steve because even though he does not completely follow or integrates the traditions, beliefs, etc of British people or Swedish he recognizes these cultures are part of his heritage and therefore he has inherited elements of them although not all of them are part of his daily life, which are all features of "symbolic ethnicity".
