kombolcha Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Don't quite understand your point. What you quoted backs up what I said. And you never heard of Indian? 586553490[/snapback] Indian = Asian (regards to race) Nationality: AfghanEthnic: Middle Eastern Location: Canada Religion: Muslim 586554437[/snapback] "Middle Eastern" is not an ethnicity, its an area. if you were born in Afghan then you're Afghan. this whole thing is screwed up, every search result i come up with has completely different statements, and very few sites that actually give an answer, but they're incomplete, they don't cover everything, and the rest of it is filled with bible hugging bull****. i've given up on looking, i don't think there is a definate answer for this. Except i know 100% that ethnicity is where you were born, and your backround. saying "my ethnicity is black" doesn't make sense.. saying "i'm ethiopian and italian" does. eth?nic?i?ty Ethnic character, background, or affiliation. An ethnic group. i'll leave it at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookie Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 RE:Vice KingNot necessarily (Oxford English Dictionary) http://dictionary.oed.com/cgi/entry/500785...sort_type=alpha Ethnic 2. a. Pertaining to race; peculiar to a race or nation; ethnological. Also, pertaining to or having common racial, cultural, religious, or linguistic characteristics, esp. designating a racial or other group within a larger system; hence (U.S. colloq.), foreign, exotic. 586553312[/snapback] I still believe the Oxford English Dictionary in that it is acceptable to use either meaning. Now lets leave it at that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
