"Primary homeland" of Jews

@TheCrimsonKing'sCourt: I removed "Crimea" as one of two "primary homelands" of Jews. You say that the note that Crimean Karaites and Krychaks are indigenous to Crimea was sourced. I can't find that source. Even if a source should exist, "indigenous" doesn't mean the same as "primary homeland". Just one example for the difference: In 2021, there was a celebration of 1700 years of Jewish presence in Germany. To me, that means Jews are indigenous to Germany. But Germany is not their "primary homeland." Rsk6400 (talk) 19:33, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure that ukrainer.net and iccrimea.org are WP:RS. Even if they are RS, that doesn't make Ukraine the "primary homeland" of the Jews. Rsk6400 (talk) 17:19, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It makes it a homeland for the specifically subgroups listed. Especially since Karaites are occasionally grouped differently than ethnic Jews. TheCrimsonKing'sCourt (talk) 03:41, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Following this logic, we could list all countries with a long history of Jewish presence as "primary homeland". Rsk6400 (talk) 12:54, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't object to it, no. Especially if their governments recognize them as indigenous. 2600:1014:B1AE:48C5:0:1D:D7B3:8401 (talk) 19:07, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Indigenous doesn't mean how long you've stayed in an area but if you are native there. 107.144.132.45 (talk) 05:56, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Microstate ethnic identity

Where is the evidence that Liechtensteiners, Monegasques, and Sammarinese are distinct ethnicities, but not Andorrans? 70.184.145.33 (talk) 20:42, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"Anglo-Saxons"? What?

Excuse me, but who is the smart guy who decided to create the category "Anglo-Saxons"? Has anyone ever considered themselves beyond the ethnic group "Anglo-Saxon"? Do the English and Anglo-Americans consider each other as one people? What's next? Unite all Slavic peoples into the category of "Slavs"? Even that would make more sense than "Anglo-Saxons", who don't even have their own Wikipedia article, except as an ancient and long-extinct bunch of peoples from the Middle Ages! 31.61.239.179 (talk) 11:11, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

On the possibility of breaking up the Hispanic American entry

Right now, the entry 'Hispanic Americans' seems to simply refer to all Hispanophone white, and mixed white-indigenous peoples living in the Americas. This is of course, not adequate as there is next to no ethnic identity uniting say, white Argentines with mestizo Mexicans, so breaking up this entry into smaller ones seems preferable. However, I'm not entirely sure how this should be approached. Should I simply split it into racial categories by country, like with the Afro-Latin American entries? Or should another approach be taken? 73.243.214.103 (talk) 17:10, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
