I’ve been online all my life, I genuinely feel at home here. I relate more to random strangers across the world than any neighbors. Is it wrong for me to think of the (western/English) Internet as my culture?

    An ethnicity or ethnic group is a group of people that perceives to be different from out-groups based on shared attributes. These attributes include having a common language, culture, common sets of ancestry, traditions, society, religion, history, or social treatment.[

    Yes it is.

    You’re describing your friends genetics or ancestry being different to their ethnicity or culture. Asian or White are not ethnicities.

        First off that page is literally titled “About the Topic of Race”, clearly not ethnicity.

        And why are you linking to an American census bureau if you want a real one? We all know America uses words differently to the rest of the world.
