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?}}
1. An ethnic group .
2. [en] Race ; common ancestry.
**** Usage notes
In common use, ETHNICITY is used as a euphemism for the sensitive term [en],
but with identical meaning: group ancestry and physical characteristics, such
as skin color, as in “ethnic Chinese”. In careful use, it refers to any
common characteristic or identity, particularly linguistic, national,
regional, or religious groups, and can cut across race, such as
Hispanic/Latino; or be a subgroup of a racial group, as in [German Texan],
[Chinese Indonesians], [Nuyorican] (New York Puerto Rican), etc.
