ethnicity is race in terms of where you came from (caucasian, asian, black.)
culture covers a much broader range of detail, such as religion, and anything specific to an ethnicity (dragons, for example, represents chinese culture.)

culture is a nation, town, city, tribe (ect.) and ethnicity is of the color of your skin or details on your face. ex) if someone was from hong kong china their culture would be chineese and their ethnicity would be asian.
