Preferred term

persistence of ethnicity  

Definition

  • When most historians and sociologists of American life discuss the term ethnicity, they generally focus on people who have different roots from those in the dominant group, that is, foreigners, minorities, and other so-called outsiders. But the fact is that all Americans are ethnics, including the Yankees and other groups from the British Isles who came to the Americas and established their communities of faith and enterprise in several geographic regions on America's eastern seaboard.
