What do you think ethnicity is?

I mean ethnicity, not race. I usually see questions and answers mixing ethnicity and race, and even judging people for identify their ethnicity with their culture, when i think it's what really matters, as your ethnicity define better who you are than your skin colour.

    hello dear, beloved Spanish remember that many years ago my city of Naples and throughout southern Italy were ruled by you, the wonderful Spanish wonderful bourbon Naples and we were very happy.us Southerners were a peaceful people, but one day the polentone sucks the north who were very poor while we were rich decided they had to take off everything, freedom, bourbon, money, jewels, and now we Neapolitan fault of polentone live in the garbage!

    I ask you Spanish:I beg you, I beg you on my knees, Spaniards resume southern Italy!

    we were happy together, in Naples we still have the Spanish quarter, our grandmothers remember with bitterness the Spanish, then you are as beautiful as we Neapolitans, we resume?

    Ethnicity means nationality that is the country or nation that you were born.

    It comes from the Greek Εθνική pronounced Ethniki meaning national.

    We descended from the twelve tribes.

    Words like race, ethnic, blacks, whites, caucasian etc are subjectively derived, contemporary cultural constructs which can be used to subjugate (Divide the minds of young people/formatory thinkers), an adjunct even, a "Social Tag"

    How would a blind person ever know they were black or white unless someone told them?

    I mean, if we wanna get super technical, colours don't even exist, they are mentally constructed.

    Case in point: the Himba tribe of remote northern Namibia, to whom water looks “white” like milk and the sky looks “black” like coal, and who struggle to distinguish between blue and green, yet can easily pick out micro-shades which Americans cannot see.
