How I see it...Ethnicity involves thing such as history, language, customs, traditions, ceremonies and values. As for nationality, it is geographic and involves national origin. There are some ethnicities that can also be nationalities (ie. Chinese, Korean,etc). But in some other cases, not so. For example, take the country of Eritrea. Being Eritrean is your nationality, but when it comes to ethnicities, it is more complicated and it gets broken down. As for ethnicities in Eritrea, you can be Tigrinya, Tigre, or Kunama or other ethnicities. Take a country like Ecuador. Being Ecuadorian is your nationality. When it comes down to ethnicity, you can be a mestizo (mixed Amerindian and white), Amerindian, Spanish (white) or black.

As for my ethnicity, I am Arab.

you are so sexy and smart...

A lot of you are getting nationality and race mixed up with ethnicity. I'd be really interested in the ethnicity you all belong to. For me its the Mendepeople of Sierra Leone.

I would also be interested to see what are people's ethnicities. Theidentification through ethnicities can be extremely important especially when looking at histories and politics of different countries around the world. In alot of cases, it is ethnic conflict that spearheads civil wars. In some countries, there are tons of ethnicities. I find all the different ethnicities andtheir cultures really beautiful and they should be represented.
