A school teacher in India has subjected a seven-year-old Muslim student to degrading treatment inside a classroom, asking his classmates to slap him and asking for him to be evicted due to his religion, a video now viral on social media has revealed.

The video, which surfaced on Friday, showed Trapta Tyagi, the teacher at the school in Uttar Pradesh, India’s most populous state, making Islamophobic remarks in addition to encouraging other students to slap him harder.

Race is a categorization of humans based on shared physical or social qualities into groups generally viewed as distinct within a given society.

(first sentence of the wikipedia article, emphasis mine)

I would say that, strictly speaking, race, religion, and culture are different things, but with a lot over overlap. "Jewish" is a perfect example of this. "Jewish" can refer to religion, race, nationality, and/or culture - in any combination, all at the same time.

Well that is because almost no one is part of the religion if they aren't from the ethnic groups and people who are part of the ethnic groups generally follow the religion and culture. It is a near perfect circle venn diagram. Unlike religions like Islam and Christianity and to a lesser extent Buddhism.
