BOTH race and nationality are a form of identity. Race is a people-based identity. It is tied to your ancestry. It is passed down from parents to children and connects you to not only your parents but also the parents of your parents.
The Malay term for race, for example, is bangsa or wangsa, which is derived from the Sanskrit term vamsa, and literally means lineage or family. When you share the same race with someone, what you have in common are the same ancestors.
