Racially

/ˈreɪʃəli/ adverb

Definition

In a way that relates to or is based on race or the characteristics of different racial groups.

Etymology

From 'racial,' which comes from 'race' (from Italian 'razza,' possibly from Latin 'ratio' meaning 'kind' or 'type'). The adverb form adds '-ly' to modify verbs, adjectives, or whole sentences.

Kelly Says

The concept of 'race' itself is actually a human invention from the colonial era—biologically, genetic variation within so-called racial groups is greater than variation between them, yet the word 'racially' describes something we treat as incredibly important socially.
