re: Sorry, AK but you obviously didn't read my post.

obviously neither did you since you specifically said and I quote: 'Those were the two "nations" you claimed the Nazis tried to eradicate.'

Message 22159601

while I specifically used the word "nationality"

Message 22156250

you, OTOH, 1st asked which nationalities

Message 22156605

and when I clarified you asked if they are considered "nations"

siliconinvestor.com

I was the one who was pointing out that nationality and nation is somewhat different

re: I specifically introduced the idea, that "nation" and "nationality" don't any longer seem to go hand in hand.

please, do point out the post where you made that introduction.

I specifically introduced the idea, that "nation" and "nationality" don't any longer seem to go hand in hand.

And I would go further saying the common man's understanding of the word "nationality" is this

lectlaw.com

The 'Lectric Law Library's Lexicon On
* Nationality *

NATIONALITY - The state of a person in relation to the nation in which he was born.

Hmmm, but this is interesting:

The Chinese Definition of a Nationality

Officially, China still adopts Stalin's definition of a Nationality:

Official Definition

A historically constituted community of people having a common territory, a common language, a common economic life and a common psychological makeup which expresses itself in a common culture. In the 1980s the Chinese government recognized fifty-six nationalities in China, the majority Han grouping and fifty-five minority nationalities.

Wonder what Stalin has to do with the definition?
