The most accurate distinction between race and ethnicity is:

Ethnicity is related to culture; race is related to biological ancestry.

Race generally refers to physical differences, such as skin color, hair texture, and facial features, often linked to geographical ancestry. Ethnicity, on the other hand, involves cultural factors such as nationality, language, and customs, and it often encompasses shared cultural heritage and identity.
