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。

, i9 H- M. A0 X; E& j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"
& n; b' j/ c* m: w: i: _7 A接着他问："China has 50 nations, is that true?"
* x+ ^2 n$ E) r4 H3 ~我当时把nations理解为民族（不怕您见笑），所以我答："yes, even more."
" v  r- c3 w: _7 c( x! D紧接着这黑人说，"Do u know what nation mean? it means country."
: v  k3 ]5 t. X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？”
他看我怒了，不停滴sorry，sorry，然后滚蛋了。

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.
! r9 M) y2 \5 {9 l& o2 h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.

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]
