Ethnic groups not showing up in the 'A' section

None of the ethnic groups between 'Arab Britons' and 'Ayrums' are being displayed. ArenTMA (talk • contribs) 15:14, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Arab Britons are described as" an endangered Amazonian tribe of hunter-gatherers"... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.50.131.40 (talk) 08:05, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I did eventually manage to fix this, although I quite liked the idea of Arab Britons being categorised as an endangered Amazonian tribe of hunter-gatherers. --Roisterer (talk) 07:30, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

List Split by Continent

Surely this list should be split by Continent, i.e List of Ethnic groups in Africa or Europe--WALTHAM2 (talk) 23:00, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea. If no one disagrees, I'll start the long, labourious process. --Roisterer (talk) 13:01, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That should probably be a separate page; "list of ethnic groups by continent"? Maybe even multiple pages: "ethnic groups of Africa" "ethnic groups of North America", etc. I think this is fine as an alphabetical list can be useful.

Are castes ethnicities?

I've noticed a few Indian castes on this list (e.g. Brahmin and Boyar caste). Are they actually seperate ethnicities? Or am I opening a huge can of worms raising this? --Roisterer (talk) 09:17, 13 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ethnicity, A-H

Did some industrious editor get tired of working on this page after they got through "H"? Because getting all of this information on to one page is a helluva lot of work and is very useful (even realizing that the population numbers are quickly outdated).

If anyone wanted to return and finish I-Z, I certainly would applaud the effort! Newjerseyliz (talk) 22:26, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've done some editing - namely expanding and joining the tables for all groups while removing the alphabetical grouping which made sorting by population numbers impossible. 91.49.230.169 (talk) 17:35, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
