ethnicity (countable anduncountable ,plural ethnicities )
The common characteristics of a group of people, especially regardingancestry ,culture ,language or national experiences.2012 March-April,Jan Sapp , “Race Finished”, inAmerican Scientist [1] , volume100 , number 2, page164 :Few concepts are as emotionally charged as that of race. The word conjures up a mixture of associations—culture,ethnicity , genetics, subjugation, exclusion and persecution. But is the tragic history of efforts to define groups of people by race really a matter of the misuse of science, the abuse of a valid biological concept?
Anethnic group . ( casual, euphemistic ) Race ; common ancestry.In common use,ethnicity is used as a euphemism for the sensitive termrace , but with identical meaning: group ancestry and physical characteristics, such as skin color, as in “ethnic Chinese”.
