Hello,
what do you call a group where students of the same nationality are put? Is it a homogenous group? I know what probably is the opposite of such a group, it is a multicultural group.

Hi,
In my experience, any mention of 'race' in a classroom is best avoided. It's a potentially explosive topic.
