hawa

如题。一定要准确。我有个故事，等有了答案我再讲。

峨眉峰

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.

现在我开始讲我的故事：

% t8 ?6 B$ W$ Q8 z5 F接着他问："China has 50 nations, is that true?"
我当时把nations理解为民族（不怕您见笑），所以我答："yes, even more."
紧接着这黑人说，"Do u know what nation mean? it means country."
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 m  n( j5 [# w) \. n他看我怒了，不停滴sorry，sorry，然后滚蛋了。
我也不知道我这样做是对还是错，只是觉得英语不好，很障碍。

This 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.
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.

# l' k) Y5 ]- f; ONation 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]
