Ethnicity most usually refers to a culture or group, NOT race or (automatically) origin.

That depends on how one defines "ethnicity" or "race". (Personally, I think "race", when it refers to humans, is an outdated and disproved concept anyway.)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_(classification_of_human_beings)

Coming from the actual scientific define, it really is Human species not Human race. Species are sub-divided in to races. Races - as it pertains to people - are from being divided from others by natural barrers and choke points into large 'super groups'.

Sorry, but what do you mean disproven and you should be careful using wiki, anybody can change it as they see fit. and yes I use it too.

What I mean is that the concept of "race" and the 19th century racial classifications are outdated. Humans are far too similar to each other to be divided into 'races'. The fact that the word and the still used doesn't say anything about its scientific basis, or the lack of it. And the confusion over how many races there are, and which ethnic groups exactly belong to which race, speaks a lot in itself.

I've known that for years before I even knew that WIki was. I'm putting a Wiki link because that's the easiest thing to do. It's not like it means that these facts only exist on not like that's something that only exists on Wikipedia. and I could go and look for all sort of sources, but I'm not writing a thesis, but posting on a forum about a TV show, and don't have time or patience to do that.
