Ethnicity

Ethnicity is the term for the culture of peoples in a geographic region.
Ethnicity is being connected by language, heritage, religion, and customs. To be a member of an ethnic group is to conform to some or all of those practices. etc.
Race is genetics and ethnicity is culture.
Race and ethnicity can overlap, but they are distinct.
A Japanese-American would be a member of the Japanese or East Asian race, but, if they don't practice any of the customs of their ancestors, or have no knowledge of the Japanese language they might not identify with the ethnicity, and instead consider themselves to be American.

Ethnicist

( noun) a person who shows or feels discrimination or prejudice against people of other ethnicities, or who believes that a particular ethnicity is superior to another. P.S: THE WORD "RACIST" IS INCORRECT. THERE IS ONLY ONE RACE ON EARTH AND THAT IS THE HUMAN RACE, MADE UP OF DIFFERENT ETHNICITIES. SO THE TERM YOU'RE LOOKING FOR IS "ETHNICIST" NOT "RACIST". Get your facts right people! Thank you Anthropology :)
Person 1: Why are Germans so aggressive and "Hitler-like"?

Facebook Ethics

Facebook Ethics is a major branch of philosophy, encompassing right conduct and good life over the electronic medium Facebook. The guiding principle of Facebook ethics is that of exercising sound judgement and morality when establishing relationships, networking, or simply keeping in touch with old friends.

Examples of breaching Facebook ethics include:
- Posting inappropriate pictures of either yourself or friends engaged in raucous behavior, binge drinking, or doing illegal drugs.
- Posting nasty comments about ex boyfriends new girlfriends at an attempt to invoke jealousy, cause pain, insult the other party
- Incessantly posting on people's walls thereby shielding other people's comments and creating a monopoly on said person's wall
- Discussing insensitive topics that could be read by other people- examples include religion, politics, and racism/sexism
- Tagging friends in pictures that are less than flattering.

Neo Ethnic

Neo Ethnic:

Mixed and other race

Mixed are created by sexual unions that cross ethnic and racial boundaries adding both richness and complexity to most societies. Another category seen in racial classifications is “other”, this permitting those not included to identify themselves, or be identified by the observer. Without this individually small, but collectively large, populations remain hidden when policy on ethnic diversity is made.
