Just for information's sake.
Nationality, eg Australian, American Iraqi, Chinese.
This is the country that you legaly belong to. You are an Australian national, you are an Australian citizen and you travel with an Australian passport.
Race, this is the catagory based on your geneological make up.
You can be African of race, but be an Australian citizen. You can be from Vietnam but be born in Australia and therefore and Australian citizen. Your race is what you look like, your nationality is what country you are a citizen of/legaly belong to.
Ethnicity, this is your culture.
You may live in China but you come from the far west and live more like an Arab. In otherwords, you eat Typically Middle Eastern food, not fried rice and you are a Muslim and you wear Turkic clothes. You are of Chinese nationality, you are of the Uighur race but you are Arabic/Turkic of ethnicity/culture.
I have a Chinese mate who's name is Abdul Hakim who has blonde hair and blue eyes.
Another thing that bothers me is race. How do you explain that? How can you say that some one is African? The Somali's are completely different to the Mozambique-is, who are different to the Kalahari, who are different to the Ugandans. They are not racially the same. Same as European, the Swedes are the opposite of the Greks, who are different from the Hungarians.
Some of the only ones I can say look extrememly similar are the Japanese, Han (Chinese). But they are close o the Thais, Koreans and even the Khazakis, Tibetans, some Russian races and so on. So how can you narrow somehting down to race when it is so ambiguous?
