Say what? Irish, Germans, Scottish, Dutch, ... aside from the Basques, are all the same people, descendants of each other - with different ethnicities and nationalities. American is both a nationality and it can be an ethnicity. These aren't technicalities they just are.Race? Your arguing technicalities. He listed American like it was the same as irish, german, etc. The only group of ppl indigenous to America are native americans.
Native Americans are all Americans when it comes to nationality but each tribe has a separate ethnicity. There is no "Native American ethnicity" but Crow, Blackfoot, ... each have an ethnicity, and within the larger nations each tribe can also have a sub ethnicity. It's a pretty vague term. Actually you could probably argue that there is a "native american" ethnicity, even though the tribes have completely different traditions and a few want to kill a few of the others. Very vague term.
And within just Ireland you have at least 3 ethnicities - Northern, Southern, Traveler. I'm sure there's more there as well.
