Label

ethnicity

Description

The ethnicity or, more generally, cultural heritage of a person. This can overlap with both religiousBelief (which may, however, change over time) and nativePlace (which, like ethnicity, does not change, though residency might). Whether a given property represents ethnicity or citizenship (nativePlace) can be a difficult decision, but in general, ethnic identities like "Jewish" or "Greek" take precedence. For example, we consider the Apostle Paul to have Jewish ethnicity, though he was a citizen of Tarsus, because he was raised as a Jew. Ethnicity is not specified without specific evidence, either textual or reliable tradition: for example, having a Greek name is not sufficient.
