racist slang used predominantly by white english males to refer to members of other ethnic communities. Common serious users include brain dead white trash, see 'scally', 'townie' and 'ned'. Passive users include students in inner city mult-cutural areas such as Manchester, where tensions run high.

Coloquial slang for:
1. A person of foreign descent.
2. Any paki/asian/indian/arab/asylym seeking bastard(s) that you'd rather just fucked off back to wherever they came from.
Notes: This does not apply to africans, who are generally dudes and do not smell.

A UK social clique. Wore dreadlocks at uni but then got rid of them for their job in Ethical Investment (the ambitious ones) / Yoga Therapy (the bums).
All went to public school. Bryanston / Bedales are main feeders.
Easily identified by their dream catcher earrings,suede Inuit boots, Goa suntan and self-aware serenity when they tell you their self-purifying Bhakti Yoga seminar they attended.
When they were in London's Cuckoo Club trying to pull Nat Rothschild the night before.
Their main trick is to present a veneer of muesli-wholesome, down-to-earth karma, when in fact they're a socially ambitious, manipulative and back-biting lot.
All LOVE psychadelic trance, and congregate at the UK's Glade festival every year, bringing an extra tent to house their assorted outfits for the weekend.

To be ethno-scene is to be into something that is not only really cool, popular and fashionable, but also very ethnic, or of exotic in culture. This just ups it "level of cool" to over 9000.
An ethno-scene kid probably enjoys:
-hookah
-pho (Vietnamese soup)
-boba (tapioca drinks and milk teas)
-anything that seems exotic, particularly asian or middle eastern.
Ethno-scene is probably caused by the popularity of being liberal, open minded, and culturally accepting. It's found most often in Caucasian people, who want to reach out to a new culture, but ultimately only because it's cool to do so.
Ethno-scenesters enjoy spouting the names of foreign foods and actives, and saying "Oh my god! You've never tried/heard of it?!" And touting the fact that they have.
They're willing to try anything once if it seems ethnic and exotic, and thus cool. This makes them susceptible to eating things that would generally be considered nasty, like bugs or animal organs, and even if they don't necessarily like it, they'll say that it's the best thing ever.
ie tripe (stomach lining) in pho. While pho is actually tasty to even the least exotic peoples, adding tripe makes it 100 times cooler, because it's disgusting, but eaten in other cultures.

"Hey, they have hookah at the coffee shop now!"
"Aw man, if they just served pho, boba, and -insert ethnic food or activity here-, we'd be set! ...Aw man, when'd I become so ethno-scene?"

That guy over there is so afraid of people from the colonies coming in to join in the stolen wealth and prosperity to escape the blowback from Western intervention in their lands is such an ethno-nationalist.

The refusal to acknowledge the professional acumen of an ethnicity other than one's own, based on a stereotype and position that one's racial/ethnic background is superior.
Ex 1: The intellectual ethno-dismissiveness (IED Complex)of voters who discredit the validity of President Barack Obama's abilities in office, fueled the Tea-Party movement.
Ex 2: A minority expert in his or her field is questioned or double-checked on findings. Meanwhile, the response of someone who fits the challenger's idea of "the expert" may have little or no experience, but is respected and accepted with few questions.
