For my hashtag topic, I chose ethnicity. I found many tweets about ethnicity. The tone of my first example is used in the correct way. It talks about how people pretend to know how others talk by using race and ethnicity and they do not know the difference. Race may defined as the color of ones skin and what other people see you as. Ethnicity could be classified by a persons cultural background, heritage, and history of  their ancestry .

The tone of my second example is supposed to be a funny tweet and is about how people don’t know what ethnicity people are during the summer. They use their skin tone to classify ethnicity, which is not necessarily right.

From these usages of this hashtag on twitter I see that many people take this seriously, but a few joke around about it. Some people in society are ignorant to the true meanings of both the words race and ethnicity.
