	The Daily, Tuesday, February 17, 1998
		Ethnic origin, as defined in the census, refers to the ethnic or cultural group(s) to which an individual's ancestors belonged.
		Ethnic origin pertains to the ancestral "roots" or background of the population and should not be confused with citizenship or nationality.
		One way of examining the ethnic origin or cultural composition of the population is to look at the total number of persons who report various origins, whether alone or in combination with other origins.

	Islamophobia: Is It Racism?, Moriel Ministries
		The interpretation of the term 'ethnic origin' is outlined in a HREOC paper on 'Islam and the RDA'.
		In the Shorter Oxford version, therefore, the concept of 'ethnic origin' is (1) a close relation of the concept of 'race' and (2) is defined by a shared culture or a common biological ancestor or both.
		The terms `ethnic origin' and `race' are complementary and are intended to be given a broad meaning.

		No system of 'ethnic' categories is entirely satisfactory, but the classifications are in line with those used nationally so that as far as possible we cover everybody.
		We always ask you to tell us yourself what you ethnic origin is, because we must not assume that it is possible for others to tell this from your accent, clothing or skin colour.
		When you tell us your ethnic origin it is not to identify your appearance, but to provide us with information that will help us to be respectful of and sensitive to your social, cultural and religious requirements.

	CPS Publications - A Test of Methods For Collecting Racial and Ethnic Information: May 1995 (Press Release)
		When Hispanic origin was presented as a racial category in panels 3 and 4, the portion of the samples identifying as Hispanic is about 8 percent, drawing from both the white category and the "Something Else" category.
		Hispanic origin in the CPS is determined from a general question that asks each respondent about his or her origin or descent, and it is asked following the race question.
		Using the Hispanic nationalities identified by the ethnic origin question from the first CPS interview, the responses of the different nationalities to the supplement race questions were examined.

		Between 1998 and 1999 entry, increases are noted for each ethnic origin, with the greatest expansion evident among the Asian Bangladeshi cohort (11.68%) which, although only a small number (and proportion) of accepted applicants to degree courses, has almost doubled since 1994.
		While the pattern of applicants accepted suggests a widening of participation in ethnic groups, it should be noted that, for HND courses, this increase is based on minimal numeric growth after 1995 (where significant expansion can be seen among both the Black and Asian cohorts).
		Ethnic origins for whom the average distance travelled to HND courses increased between 1998 and 1999 were Black African, Black Other and Asian Indian.

		Ethnic groups are also usually united by certain common cultural, behavioural, linguistic and ritualistic or religious traits.

		Those of use who work with the ethnic or cultural origin data collected by the Census are well aware of the difficulties that Statistics Canada, and its predecessors have had over the years in obtaining valid, reliable and consistent data on these complex and "ambiguous" population characteristics.
		Of course this has further confused the original and historical intent of the question and blurred the distinction between one's "ethnic or cultural origin" and the respondent's current ethnic or cultural "identity".
		Because of the multidimensional nature of one's ethnic identity, we need the other ethnic/cultural variables that the census collects, e.g., religion, mother tongue, language used in the home, country of birth, etc., to give us clues as to the ethnic ancestry of the population as well as to their current ethnic identity.

	Census of Canada, 1996: stubsets
		Ethnic or cultural origin refers to the ethnic 'roots' or ancestral background of the population, and should not be confused with citizenship or nationality.
		Comparability of ethnic origin data between the 1996 Census and previous censuses has been affected by several factors including changes in the question format, wording, examples, instructions and data processing, as well as by the social environment at the time of the census.
		While the 1991 Census question included fifteen mark-in categories and two write-in spaces, in 1996, respondents were required to write in their ethnic origin(s) in four write-in spaces.

		The BBM ballots are unilingual, either French or English, and are not written in the language of the ethnic household they are surveying; this obviously compromises the BBM analysis of the ethnic broadcaster.
		Furthermore, the BBM, which was conceived to analyze a broadcaster with a uniform-unilingual format, is hard-pressed to report on whom listens to an ethnic station whence one audience tunes out at a specific time when their specific language program ends, while another audience tunes into a different language program.

	Protecting migrants and ethnic minorities: the Danish experience. - International migration (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		It should be pointed out that if migrants are subject to discrimination on grounds of their race, colour, national or ethnic origin, sex, political opinion, religion, national extraction or social origin, they are protected by ILO Convention No. 111 and the ICERD.
		It is obvious that 'ethnic origin', 'nationality', 'race', 'colour' or other related grounds are not amongst the grounds mentioned in the Constitution and the explicit mention of, in sections 70 and 71, of the grounds 'faith and origin' should be seen in the light of the aftermath of the Second World War.
		Clearly, Danish state legislation on the Constitutional, criminal and civil levels was largely inadequate in terms of providing ethnic minorities and migrants with the possibility of seeking any kind of redress in connection with the discrimination to which, as has been proven through the ILO project, they are exposed.

		If I were to say Cypriot Greek for my ethnic origin, it would imply something like I'm a Cypriot from Greece, rather than a Greek from Cyprus, and if it were Greek Cypriot when talking about the dialect, it would imply that Cypriot is the language, not Greek.
		As for either a person of Albanian origin residing and having citizenship in Greece or an ethnic Greek living and having citizenship in Albania, I don't think it would matter which to use.
