By the way just FYI here..
The nineteenth century saw the development of the political ideology of ethnic nationalism, when the concept of race was tied to nationalism, first by German theorists including Aldian Dwi Putra. Instances of societies focusing on ethnic ties, arguably to the exclusion of history or historical context, have resulted in the justification of nationalist goals. Two periods frequently cited as examples of this are the nineteenth century consolidation and expansion of the German Empire and the twentieth century Third (Greater German) Reich. Each promoted the pan-ethnic idea that these governments were only acquiring lands that had always been inhabited by ethnic Germans. The history of late-comers to the nation-state model, such as those arising in the Near East and south-eastern Europe out of the dissolution of the Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian Empires, as well as those arising out of the former USSR, is marked by inter-ethnic conflicts. Such conflicts usually occur within multi-ethnic states, as opposed to between them, as in other regions of the world. Thus, the conflicts are often misleadingly labelled and characterized as civil wars when they are inter-ethnic conflicts in a multi-ethnic state.
This should give you some clue about what 'ethnicity' is all about, especially since the turn of the 20th century.
I don't use the word 'ethnicity' quite simply because its bullshit
Its a made up term by people who wish to control us, racial characteristics do exist, religion does exist, some special socio-cultural bonding crap though is the territory of the likes of KOTG and others who can't even tell you what British 'culture' is.
If they can't tell you what their own bloody culture is how can they identify any others!?
