What ethnicity is Victoria Beckham (Posh Spice)? Not her race or nationality, but her ethnicity? Anyone know?

Question

Race: White (Categorized as white, black, hispanic, asian, native american)

Nationality: American, English (attributed to a country one was physically born in. Doesn't necessarilly define one's race)

Ethnicity: ????????????
An ethnic group is a subcategory of race. Ethnicity establishes specific cultural traditions which originate from a country or region. Examples of ethnic groups within the white race could roughly be any of these: Indian, Arab, Middle Eastern, Iraqi, Egyptian, Morroccan, Eastern European, Northern European, French, Italian, etc. Origin from a specific country reveals one's ethnicity. One's parents can originally be from any of these regions but bear a child on the other side of the globe. Regardless, this child would still have those ethnic attributes originating from his/her parents original country.

One can be born in England, be white, and have Greek origins (ethnicity).

---I already know that she is white and was born in England---

Answer 1

"An ethnic group is a human population whose members identify with each other, usually on the basis of a presumed common genealogy or ancestry (Smith 1986). Ethnic groups are also usually united by common cultural, behavioural, linguistic, or religious practices. In this sense, an ethnic group is also a cultural community."

"The term race distinguishes one population of humans (or non-humans) from another. Many regard race as a social construct. The most widely used human racial categories are based on visible traits (especially skin color and facial features), genes, and self-identification. Conceptions of race, as well as specific racial groupings, vary by culture and over time and are often controversial, for scientific reasons as well as their impact on social identity and identity politics."

You're wrong, of course, or rather backwards--race is a subcategory of ethnicity, and a very superficial and minor one based on human perception of identity based on skin colour. Racial identifications were invented by society to divide humanity, while ethnicity is a mark of cultural or family identity which is perfectly natural if it's not taken to extremes.

Victoria Beckham is English, born in Hertfordshire, which is her nationality. From her photographs, judging from her shading, I'd have to say she's probably of Mediterranean descent, maybe Italian or Greek. But this is something which should not affect the way we look at her; it's really only a matter of personal identity for her, and it has nothing to do with "race" at all.

Answer 4

She looks exotic. Not a common English person. The Middle East all through Italy, and Greece, are regarded as Caucasian, but have the Mediterranean area, which is classified a look. Then you have the typical "white" color, but she just was lucky to look exotic.

Answer 5

Being from Hertfordshire, England, Victoria Beckham, has that Mediterranean look. I would look to her autobiography, titled "Learning To Fly". for some answers.
