Upon arrival, these Jews adopted the customs of the Mizraḥi and Sephardi communities into which they moved.

Ethnic Poles are those who are considered by others or by themselves, to be ethnically Polish rather than anything else but who do not live within Poland nor hold its citizenship. People in this category seem to be usually considered to be ethnic Poles by others, but sometimes by themselves, take for example the people of Polish ancestry in Germany/Austria who speak little of having Polish descent and do not consider themselves as Poles despite having visible Polish family names which would connect them in some way to the Polish language and ...

The "Newf" or "Newfie" terms are considered derogatory by many Newfoundlanders owing to their use in "Newfie jokes", typical Canadian ethnic jokes told and retold since the days of the bankruptcy of the Dominion of Newfoundland government during the Great Depression. Most jokes were originally created (in nearly identical form) to insult the intelligence of other groups such as the Irish, Polish or Belgians.

The ethnic affinities of the Maitakas are not clear. Due to the faulty translation of the opening passage of the inscriptions of Vallabhi kings, it was erroneously held for a long time that Gupta Senapati Bhatarka had fought against the Maitrakas. The Maitrakas, therefore, were thought to be a clan of the Hunas. Dr Hultzsch was the first to correct this mistake and point out that, according to proper construction of the passage, it really means that Bhatarka himself belonged to Maitakas and not that he fought against it (Epigraphia In ...

While the majority group often calls itself "White" this is primarily used as a synonym for British ethnic background. With the exception of some Government-defined catagories, mostly developed in an attempt to counter racism, current Australian conceptions of "race" and ethnicity are based ...
