Ethnic group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia An ethnic group is a culture or subculture whose members are readily distinguishable by outsiders based on traits originating from a common racial, national, linguistic, or religious source. Ethnic groups share a common origin, and exhibit a continuity in time, that is, a history and a future as a people. According to this view the state ought not to acknowledge ethnic, national or racial identity and should instead enforce political and legal equality of all individuals. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Ethnic   (859 words)

2001C.txt Whether you agree in whole, or in part, with any of the above statements, or their implication for your future research, the possible reduction in the number of ethnic/cultural variables (especially the ethnic origin question) for which data traditionally have been collected by the national census, is something that we must try to prevent. 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". www.ucalgary.ca /~kalbach/2001C.txt   (1060 words)

GREEK MYTH ABOUT ETHNIC ORIGIN OF MINORITIES AND GREEK EXPANSIONISM No matter what nation or ethnic community may it be, Greeks claim that it if it is affiliated to the Christian Orthodox Church, it is “Greek”.and this is a tactic of the Greek expansionism. However, a great majority of those who moved to Greece as a result of the regrouping of populations' agreement at the beginning of 1920s was Turkish-speaking Christian Orthodox people of Turkish origin. Though the national minorities are not recognised, the minority members are subjected to pressures on the level of national minorities. www.pubinfo.gov.nc.tr /h060399e.htm   (3037 words)

NFHA Although housing discrimination based upon race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability or familial status is illegal, NFHA’s investigation into housing practices following the hurricanes documented violations of the federal Fair Housing Act in several states to which many hurricane victims fled: Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee and Texas. The report outlines NFHA’s multi-year rental and real estate sales testing investigation, which found blatant discriminatory behavior including steering and illegal comments about race, national origin and religion.

Malaysian National News Agency :: BERNAMA He felt that the word "bangsa" should be used in reference to country of origin such as "bangsa Malaysia" (Malaysian nationality) while it was more apt to use "kaum" (community) in reference to the origin of an individual such as Malay, Chinese and Indian. Melaka delegate Poh Chu Tong spoke at length on national unity and praised Barisan Nasional (BN) leaders for their sensitivity, which he said was crucial in ensuring harmony among the various communities in the country.

Balkan Repository Project - Kosovo The Albanian League, formed on the periphery of the Albanian ethnic space, in Prizren in 1878, called for a resolution of the national question within the frameworks of the Ottoman empire: it was conservative Muslim layers that prevailed in the League's leadership and military forces. The theory about the Albanians' alleged Illyrian origin was launched from the cabinets of Viennese and German scientists where, until then, it only had the form of a narrow scientific debate, and it was skillfully propagated in a simplified form. The right to self-determination, which the ethnic Albanians refer to when rejecting even the very thought of remaining within Serbia, is not envisaged anywhere in the world for national minorities, no matter how large their percentage may be compared to the country's overall population. www.balkan-archive.org.yu /politics/kosovo/papers/DB-kosovo2.html   (4646 words)

History of Romanians At that time the National Romanian Party in Transylvania played an important role in asserting the Romanian national identity; the party was reorganized in 1881 and it became the standard bearer in the struggle to achieve recognition of equal rights of the Romanian nation and it the resistance against the denationalization projects. A Romanian army, under the personal command of Prince Carol I, crossed the Danube and participated in the siege of Pleven; the result was the surrender of the Ottoman army led by Osman Pasha (December 10, 1877). Owing to their position, the Romanians south of the Danube were the first to be mentioned in historical sources (the 10th century), under the name of vlahi or blahi (Wallachians); this name shows they were speakers of a Romance language and that the non-Roman peoples around them recognised this fact. www.roembus.org /english/romanian_links/history_of_romanians.htm   (5696 words)

The McCarran-Walter Act The Immigration Act of 1965 replaced quotas based on national origin with a uniform annual cap on immigration of 20,000 per country. While the national origins quota system was dismantled in 1965, other provisions of the Act — such as the creation of family and employment-based preference categories — remain an integral part of U.S. immigration law to this day. The fight to overturn the national origins quota system in the 1952 INA began as soon as the law was passed. www.ailf.org /ipc/policy_reports_2004_mccarranwalter.asp   (5696 words)

ABCP--The African Blackwood Tree African blackwood is also referred to as Grenadilla in the woodwind instrument trade, though this name of Spanish origin likely refers to a wood of Central American origin. The African blackwood tree is a member of the rosewood family, with taxonomic classification in the family Leguminosae, genus Dalbergia, species melanoxylon. Robert Lamb, who was a consultant on the "Tree of Music" video and appeared in the film, writes about this confusion between ebony and African blackwood, "A sunken vessel was found somewhere in the Eastern Mediterranean with a cargo of (among other things) wooden billets that were analysed as blackwood. www.blackwoodconservation.org /tree.html   (2381 words)

APHIS News A. The NAIS is a national program intended to identify all agricultural animals and track them as they come into contact with, or are inter–mixed with, animals other than herdmates from their premises of origin. Species for which identification is currently required will continue to have to be identified prior to entering commerce (e.g., sheep and goats under the national scrapie eradication program). A. USDA and its cooperators are working toward developing a national program that will allow us to rapidly track animals exposed to a disease concern and that will meet the needs of animal owners, animal industries, domestic and international markets, and consumers. www.aphis.usda.gov /lpa/pubs/fsheet_faq_notice/faq_ahaids.html   (5149 words)

Mideast Strife -- Will It Lead To Armageddon? Lord Balfour's declaration was accepted, which provided for a "Jewish national homeland." The various caliphates and the Ottomans had been in control of Palestine and Jerusalem for many hundreds of years until this time. Though the "tables of nations" in the tenth chapter of Genesis indicates that the original Philistines were probably Hamitic in origin, and therefore quite dark and swarthy, possibly even black, many authorities believe the name itself is of Semitic origin. Excerpted, it states: "Eretz-Israel was the birthplace of the Jewish people...In the year 1897 the first Zionist Congress...proclaimed the right of the Jewish people to national rebirth in its own country. www.garnertedarmstrong.ws /pubs/armagedd.htm   (5149 words)

1979 Perth State of Origin Carnival In 1979, precisely 100 years after the first intercolonial football match was held, a state of origin carnival, ostensibly run by the National Football League, but with its costs being underwritten by the Western Australian National Football League, was conducted in Perth. The inception of state of origin football in 1977 brought renewed interest in interstate competition, for the simple reason that Victorian pre-eminence was no longer guaranteed. Coming into this carnival, the state of origin loss to Western Australia 2 seasons previously had been the Big V's only interstate reversal in its last 25 outings, meaning that Victoria was favoured by most pundits to win the championship. www.fullpointsfooty.net /1979_perth_state_of_origin_carnival.htm   (1130 words)

CROATS & SERBS: CHAPTER ONE Meanwhile the name "Serb" is a specific national name and wherever Serbs are mentioned they must be of the same national origin as the Serbs in the Caucasus or in Asia Minor. Therefore the oldest mention that we have the Serbs dates from the middle of the II century, more precisely from the last quarter of the I century A.D. From these two instances it is clear that the Serbs mentioned therein were not Slavs. (45) The Serbs of Thessaly were so few in number that they did not even have their own bishopric before 869, (46) and it is wholly probable that in 688 they were transferred in such numbers to Asia Minor that a VII century bishopric in Bithynia would have taken its name from them. www.magma.ca /~rendic/chapter1.htm   (3006 words)

Arab American Institute - Not Quite White The 1952 Act took five years of congressional study and retained the national origin quota system but based it on the 1920 census, allocating two-thirds of the total to northern Europe. The act has been said to reflect the evolution of public policy towards the foreign born in general and President Kennedy's view in particular of immigrants as a source of national strength. The 1978 classification scheme served as the legal framework for the race/Hispanic origin categories that appear in government surveys and reporting requirements, including the census as of 1980. www.aaiusa.org /not_quite_white.htm   (3006 words)

Immigration and Immigrants: Setting the Record Straight National origin exclusions were expanded to Japanese in 1907 and all Asians in 1917. The changing countries of origin are reflected in the changing composition of the foreign-born population (Figure 6).

THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE & NAZISM IN THE USA As the nation's leading authority on the pledge of allegiance and on the "Roman Salute," RexCurry.net made the historic discovery that the salute of the National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nazis) originated from the military salute in the USA, and from the original flag pledge (as written by a socialist), and not from ancient Rome. The pledge of allegiance was the origin of the salute of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party (Nazi Party) because Francis Bellamy was a self-proclaimed national socialist who promoted “military socialism” (a Bellamy term). Francis Bellamy was a national socialist in the U.S. and created the pledge of allegiance to the flag using a straight-armed salute, the so-called "Roman" salute, in 1892. rexcurry.net /pledgesalute.html   (2699 words)

Québec's Civil Code In 1861, the National Assembly of Québec ordered a bilingual consolidation of Québec civil law. It therefore happens that the great body of the laws exist only in the language which is not the mother tongue of the inhabitants of British origin, while other portions are not to be found in the mother tongue of those of French origin. The federal government has followed suit and in fact, Canada benefits from a single, national Criminal Code. www.duhaime.org /misc/ca-ccode.aspx   (681 words)
