Wrong.
Nationality is not the same as citizenship.
Your nationality can be Kurdish but your citizenship cannot be Kurdish since no Kurdish state exists.
Turks who are German citizens can be the same nationality as Turks who are Turkish citizens as long as they consider themselves Turks first before they are German (if at all).
Sources please.
Here is one that says I am right:

4. national character or quality

The US is made up of many ethnic groups American Indians, Asians, Caucasians, Blacks, Hispanic etc...
Some Nations can be made up of one ethnic group, but Nations are often made up of multiple ethnic groups.
And this topic is about Ethnicity. Not citizenship or Nationality.
Ethnic background meaning Caucasian, Asian, Indian, etc.. or in some cases, stupid. :lol:
The original poster could have meant Nationality, but they would have to clarify.
USA, Korean, British, Canadian, French are not ethnic groups. (I expect the Irish to argue, but that is part of their Nationality not their Ethnicity).:lol:
US Nationals(citizens) are not all Caucasians.
The question in the Title of this thread is;
What your ethnic background.
If I say I am an American, have I answered the question?
