Read Chapter 9 and note that the first 25 pages discuss the concepts and history of groups in different racial categories.
Pages 350-369 in edition #5 and pages 368-381 in edition #6 discuss how people in different racial groups have interacted with each other on different levels, individual (microlevel) and institutional (mesolevel).

What group are you discussing?
What racial categories (labels or names) have people used to describe it in US culture?
What ethnic categories (labels or names) have people used to describe it in US culture?
What is one significant event or situation that this group experienced in US history?
Why is this event or situation important?
What can we learn about US culture, institutions or relationships between different groups?
