Ethnicity has become associated with troubles in third world countries, but is it relevent in Europe or it died years ago overtaken by economic growth and prosperity?

Ethnicity is the ethnic background that you come from eg) white British; white Irish; black African; black British, black Jamaican, Asian Indian; Asian Pakistani etc
It will always be relevent in Europe for as long as the Governemt continue to make an issue of it, eg) why do we always have to record our ethnic background on any form we complete.

Race is a biological term, ethnicity a social one; so an ethnic group is a collectivity with a similar cultural background.

ethnicity is just which ethnic group you're from. obviously, in economics etc. it does matter, but in europe as a whole, i don't think it does. i don't really get what someone's ethnicity has to do with it's relevance in europe, but each to their own!

ethnicity is like sub-races in a way
u have black as a race and then u have african-american, jamaican, ethiopian, and nigerian as ethnicities
