Race is shown here by two males who both have black skin so they would be classified in a specific group based of the color of their skin. Nothing else will put them in this defined category other than the biological difference than the majority population.
Cultural assimilation is being shown here while a non-Asian has adopted a material cultural object. Chopsticks are thought to be only used by Asians but are adopted by the rest of the population.
These boys are not from Hawaii, they are from California, but when take to Hawaii they act as if the are Hawaiian for the few days they are over there. They put on flower leis and make Hawaiian gestures. These guys are an example of how some people use symbolic ethnicity to have a good time.
Racism is displayed here because stereotypically society believes that all Asians are super smart. If it is true or not, the stereotype looks as if to be true by this Asian's Halloween costume and may be seen as racist to people.
My friend Krishan and I are very good friends, and in being such close friends we are showing pluralism. Together we are encouraging ethnic variation within a society.
