An '''ethnic group''', also a "cultural group" or is a term used to describe a group of people sharing the same [[culture]]. This often includes sharing the same [[language]], [[religion]], [[history]], [[politics]] and social habits. Many countries have a dominant indigenous ethnic group, like the [[Netherlands]], while others, like the [[Brazil]], have no dominant ethnicity. People from the same ethnic group necessarily come from the same [[race]]. But, the term is more based on a social not biological construct, after all the ethnic-national identity of a person depends on how they view themselves as member of a single nation, cultural and community through personal feeling, family roots and historical experiences.
