 Ethnic group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On the political front, an ethnic group is distinguished from a nation-state by the former's lack of sovereignty.
Members of an ethnic group generally claim a strong cultural continuity over time, although some historians and anthropologists have documented that many of the cultural practices on which ethnic groups are based are of recent invention (Friedlander 1975, Hobsbawm and Ranger 1983, Sider 1993).
The 19th century saw the development of the political ideology of ethnic nationalism, when the concept of race was tied to nationalism, first by German theorists including Johann Gottfried von Herder.

 Nationalities of China - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Undistinguished nationalities (未识别民族: Wèi Shíbié Mínzú) are ethnic groups that have not been officially recognized or classified by the central government.
Official policy is against assimilation and maintains that each ethnic group should have the right to develop its own culture and language.
Although most of the nationalities can be seen as ethnic groups, the correspondence is not one to one.

 CWIS - The Fourth World Journal - Strategies in "Ethnic" Conflict by Gevork Ter-Gabrielian
In addition, suffering ethnic groups develop strong nationalist ideologies based on the idea of historical revanchism (sometimes refered to as "atavistic revanchism", because the members of the group do not have any personal reason to hate the members of another group: the hatred and enemy image are projected through the myths of past massacres).
The proposals must provide an institutional framework for the states to have guarantees that ethnic groups would not secede and for the ethnic groups to have guarantees that their sovereign rights to their culture, land, and development would not be violated by their home states.
If a regime democratizes, chaotic associations between ethnic groups of higher status directed against federal authorities and against ethnic groups of lower status result in a tendency of the former to grasp the state power and impose a unitary rule, and of the latter to preserve the status quo in alliance with the existing system.

This group however if it did last a few generations would be an ethnic group but only of the new Roman-Latin one and not of the old ancient one.
The significance of ethnic membership to people can best be investigated through that detailed on-the-ground research which is the hallmark of anthropology.
