  • We could probably print one with a 3d printer.

  • First off that page is literally titled "About the Topic of Race", clearly not ethnicity.

    And why are you linking to an American census bureau if you want a real one? We all know America uses words differently to the rest of the world.

  • An ethnicity or ethnic group is a group of people that perceives to be different from out-groups based on shared attributes. These attributes include having a common language, culture, common sets of ancestry, traditions, society, religion, history, or social treatment.[

    Yes it is.

    You're describing your friends genetics or ancestry being different to their ethnicity or culture. Asian or White are not ethnicities.

  • Ethnicity is not ancestry or "race". And yes I know Americans like to call different looking people ethnic.

    An ethnicity or ethnic group is a group of people that perceives themselves to be different from other groups based on shared attributes. These attributes include having a common language, culture, common sets of ancestry, traditions, society, religion, history, or social treatment.[1][2] The term ethnicity is sometimes used interchangeably with the term nation, particularly in cases of ethnic nationalism. It is also used interchangeably with race.[3]

    You are that third minor sometimes used footnote, not the norm.

  • They largely are, ethnicity is culture (tradition, language, customs, beliefs) and history.

    I do not relate culturally to the people where I live, I have far more in common in beliefs and values with the typical terminally online compared to people where I grew up. And I've been online since the Internet started, so I've got the history too.

    Can the Internet be an ethnicity?
