Detailed Solution

Overlapping social differences happens when one kind of social difference overlaps the other.
People in these situations believe they are members of various communities, which makes one type of social difference more significant than the others in society. Race and caste are some examples. It's possible that members of the various communities can't stand one another. For instance, the distinction between blacks and whites within the United States.
