groups and so yes they will appear IN BOTH GROUPS .Here is a link to the

Ethnicity/Ethnic group

Ethnicity is the ethnic group or groups a person identifies with or has a
sense of belonging to. It is a measure of cultural affiliation (in
contrast to race, ancestry, nationality, or citizenship). Ethnicity is
self-perceived and a person can belong to more than one ethnic group.

An ethnic group is made up of people who have some or all of the following
characteristics:

·        a common proper name

·        one or more elements of common culture that need not be
specified, but may include religion, customs, or language

·        a unique community of interests, feelings, and actions

·        a shared sense of common origins or ancestry

·        a common geographic origin.
