I've never heard of ethnicity being used to imply something out of the mainstream. I've only heard of it used to describe a different culture.

So it is rather to me odd to see Greek as being toted as the rave, ethnic movie of the year given that there are dozens of foreign films that fit the "ethnic mold" (EX: City of God).

Last time I checked, Greek was as much an ethnicity as Brazillian.

Greek people are indeed white and if you really want to argue the semantics and trivialities of ethnicity I suppose we could. I personally believe ethnicity is stupid and false.

You seem to be contradicting yourself here. You say you think ethnicity is stupid and false, yet you complain that a movie about "white" people is called ethnic. So which is it?

I see nothing wrong with my opinion and review. And I do know the definition of ethnicity thank you.

It sure doesn't seem like you do to me. I think you are confusing the idea of race with ethnicity. Ethnicity has to with language and culture, not skin color or genetic makeup.
