An ethnic group or ethnicity is a socially defined category of people who identify with each other based on common ancestral, social, cultural or national experience.he abstract ethnicity had been used for paganism in the 18th century, but now came to express the meaning of an ethnic character (first recorded 1953). The term ethnic group was first recorded in 1935 and entered the Oxford English Dictionary in 1972.
On most paperwork which asks for ethnicity, the broader white/black/asian categories are generally what are being looked for, but it is an oversimplification. So for example, there were originally 12 Germanic tribes in Europe, so not all whites or caucasians are of the same genetic stock or ethnic group.
