Just to clarify though you can use the world "Ethnicity" when you want to address race. The word exists just for that purpose-to address the geographical area your DNA comes from, which by extension makes your very skin color. "Nationality" is merely at which country you currently reside in, but an ethnicity is indeed another word for racial skin color. It is usually used to avoid when people use the world "race" to both address ethnicity (Asian, European, African, Australian e.t.c.) and species too. (The human race, various animals, plants, insects and anything that exists really.)
I'm done nitpicking.

ah I thought ethnicity is not just race but also culture?
"he traditional definition of race and ethnicity is related to biological and sociological factors respectively. Race refers to a person's physical characteristics, such as bone structure and skin, hair, or eye color. Ethnicity, however, refers to cultural factors, including nationality, regional culture, ancestry, and language."

While I do largely agree with you, I still think objective factors should be prioritized. This is mainly because the word "race" itself has been used and overused many times on different occasions, leading to an impossible to keep-up definition mix. Many people have used the word "race" in quite a lot of ways, which was even brought up in the very video on the website. So that's why I do believe it is some of those biases that somewhat shift the very meaning of the word.
And there's one big detail in that definition people miss:
"Race refers to a person's physical characteristics, such as bone structure and skin, hair, or eye color. Ethnicity, however, refers to cultural factors, including nationality, regional culture, ancestry, and language."
Keyword: including
With that said I think it's safe to say that "ethnicity" means race for sure, but for some people it also means race plus culture combined. In my opinion, personally I don't think culture and race should be fused. I mean, ethnically someone could be African, nationally Swedish, religiously a Buddhist, and still be culturally ambiguous. Body DNA is an objective materialized structure, culture is not.
And in the end, I think ethnicity is more than just racial skin color, after all, white Africans exist too , in a way. And I guess If we go by the racial logic we're supposed to call Asians "yellow people" which sounds kinda stupid to me.
But to each their own, I suppose.

A few months ago someone made this comment - "Christian is a Race." Threw me for a loop and after I got over the shock, I replied, "No its not. Its a choice."
