What is ethnicity?

Ethnicity is better understood when described as "ethnic background" or "ethnic heritage" because ethnicity is the combination of what your parents gave you. Ethnicity is a combination of linguistic, cultural, ancestral, national or regional ties.

Ethnicity is a good word to avoid the controversial word "race". Many anthropologists believe there are no "races", only clines of phenotypes.
