re: Those are characteristics of an ethnic or racial group, not a nation ..... Describing religious and ethnic groups as nations. there is a bit of a difference in nationality vs nation. You want to explain what the difference is? To me it doesn't make sense to call some group a nationality if they have no nation. What exactly do you mean? Jews can not be classified under neither ethnic group nor race nor religious group. If you say so. I would say the same thing that they can't be classified under one nationality. They are children of Jewish mothers, and that's it? is classification an excuse for extermination? What are you talking about? Among the usual ties are membership in the same general community, common customs, culture, tradition, history, and language. While no one of these factors is essential, some must be present for cohesion to be strong enough to justify the term nationality. Used in this sense, nationality does not necessarily denote membership within a specific political state. There are many examples of nations divided between several states and of states composed of several nations and parts of nations. Thus not all Albanians live in Albania, and, on the other hand, Switzerland has citizens whose native languages are German, French, Italian, and Romansh. I disagree with the definition. A child of Polish parents born and raised in Switzerland would be of Swiss nationality and Polish decent. An Albanian living in Turkey would be of Turkish nationality and Albanian descent. I don't see the point of saying someone is of different nationality than that which is written on his/her passport. There are a fixed number of nations in the UN charter, if you claim to be of a nationality which is not one of them you might as well claim to be of Sperlunkonian nationality - in other words, it's meaningless.
