china is not a single ethnic nation ,in fact 56 ethnic groups

Deena

56 minority

轩辕无天

minority是少数民族的意思，汉族不是少数民族，所以，不能用这个词

我跟老外聊天时提起过，他们用的是nationalities.

谢谢楼上各位的回答！
我接受”56 ethnic groups“这个说法。

现在我开始讲我的故事：
有一天，一个黑人问我，"where r u from?" 我答："China"
4 P; g3 ^. w, T. B1 `4 C4 J, P1 Q& o% c( \接着他问："China has 50 nations, is that true?"

! {) @( c/ n) V+ R9 S* F0 q紧接着这黑人说，"Do u know what nation mean? it means country."
6 K; x$ @' G! t1 q' J这下子把我气着了，我立刻翻了脸，怒视着他问“what u mean？why u ask such question？”

8 X5 {) q' k. DThis guy just play with you in English word. If you don't like his game just tell him --go home check your F-English dictionary.  Do you know who said --Quebec is a nation.
9 l4 _# K' ?" u8 P  ~加拿大土著--First Nations is a term of ethnicity that refers to the Aboriginal peoples in Canada who are neither Inuit nor Métis.
( z0 Z% w; C. q1 x1 `
Nation has different meanings in different contexts. In worldwide diplomacy, nation can mean country or sovereign state.[1] The United Nations, for instance, speaks of how it was founded after the Second World War with “51 countries” and currently has “192 member states”.[2] Nation may more broadly refer to a community of people who share a common territory and government—but who are not necessarily a sovereign state; and who often share a common language, race, descent, and/or history, such as the “Palestinian nation”.[1] The word nation can more specifically refer to a tribe of North American Indians, such as the Cherokee Nation.[1]
