Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc.
I have "jens" for race, "asl 'erqee" for ethnicity and "naw'" for sex.
"Naw'" seems to be too Egyptian, but if I use "jens" then what do I use for race and if I use "'erq" for race, what, then do I use for ethnicity.
Please help me out of this mess!

The Greek ethnos is variously translated ‘tribe’ or ‘nation’ and its meaning can be taken as being some way between the two. Ethnicity is the quality of belonging to an ethnic group. But the question of what is an ethnic group, as opposed to any other kind of group, is one which permits no simple answer. Ethnic groups are not races, since ethnicity can be more precisely defined than race or even logically independent: Serbs and Croats are also Slavs, and a Jew might be black or white. Nor does membership of an ethnic group relate a person necessarily to a particular territory in the way that nationality does. Nevertheless, ‘ethnic conflict’ can be the same thing as conflict between nations or races as it can also be conflict between religious groups. Ethnic conflict in Northern Ireland (‘Catholic’ and ‘Protestant’), Lebanon (where Christian Arabs have been in conflict with Muslim Arabs), and in the Balkans (where Orthodox Serbs differ from Catholic Croats and from Muslims principally in terms of religion) are all conflicts primarily identified by religious affiliation. Language, for the Basques, Welsh, or Georgians, for example, is a more important badge of ethnicity than race, nationality, or religion.

: eth·nic (µth“n¹k) adj. 1.a. Of or relating to sizable groups of people sharing a common and distinctive racial, national, religious, linguistic, or cultural heritage... are you gonna add language and culture?

No, I will not. But you do not search for the meaning of ethnicity only ; you should search also the meaning of "jens 'erqee" and "naw'". After that u will get why I chose this order. Also, visit all links I add. Thanks

: It is common in many countries to find communities of citizens belonging to different ethnic groups. In egypt, there Nubeans, Greeks, Italians, Armenians, and Cretians, among many other ethnicities who are all Egyptian citizens.
