An Ethnic Group, also a "Cultural Group" or "Volk" in German 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 neccesarily come from the same race.
