    Yes, Gray bold is right.

    Her nationality is Vietnamese,

    her ethnicity is Vietnamese,

    and race-wise, she is technically mixed-race. Eurasian since she has both European and Asian heritage.

    Race: Eurasian

    Ethnicity: Vietnamese

    Nationality: Vietnamese

    Ethnicity refers to cultural background.

    Nationality refers to country of origin.

    She is mixed. As for nationality I would have to say Vietnamese since she was born and raised there.

    She is mixed race -- half Caucasian (white) half Mongoloid (East Asian)

    Her ethnicity is French and Vietnamese.

    Her nationality is whatever nation she is a citizen of. Is she a citizen of Vietnam? USA? France? Canada? Whatever it is that is her nationality.
