Sorted by?

edit

Hi - it isn't actually clear how this is sorted. The link is to Country of birth of parents but that figure isn't usually used in the articles. We are quite good at quoting country of birth and ancestry statistics. My preferences is for country of birth to drive the ranking. --Matilda talk 07:31, 2 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

I made all the bolded ancestries in number order, but the other ones are just random i think. They are by ancestry if you guessed, and aboriginals at the top for obvious reasons. PMK1 (talk) 13:19, 6 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Why is the british one anyway bold, no matter what group u click on? 60.224.3.243 (talk) 18:44, 12 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Sudanese

edit

Shouldn't Sudanese be listed under Africa as opposed to Asia - West? Egyptian, which is closer to the Middle East/Asia is listed under Africa. GizzaDiscuss © 07:31, 30 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

I've gone ahead and made the change. In my opinion this was an obvious mistake but anyone is entitled to talk about it here if they wish. GizzaDiscuss © 11:20, 13 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

North African and Middle Eastern

edit

According to Australian Standard Classification of Cultural and Ethnic Groups (ASCCEG)[1] the follwing is a list of ethnic groups belonging to the category of North African and Middle Eastern:

ARAB: Algerian, Egyptian, Iraqi, Jordanian, Kuwaiti, Lebanese, Libyan, Moroccan, Palestinian, Saudi Arabian, Syrian, Tunisian, Yemeni, Bahraini, Emirati, Omani, Qatari, Arab, nec
JEWISH: Jewish
Peoples of the Sudan: Bari, Darfur, Dinka, Nuer, South Sudanese, Sudanese, Peoples of the Sudan, nec
Other North African and Middle Eastern: Berber, Coptic, Iranian, Kurdish, Turkish, Assyrian, Chaldean, Mandaean, Nubian, Yezidi, Other North African and Middle Eastern, nec

So according to this, the above Ethnic Groups are NOT Asian Australian and instead should be classified as North African and Middle Eastern respectfully. SCN 1999 (talk) 03:40, 19 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
