I proposed a rename as per wikipedias categorization scheme, we add
"people"
to any ethnicity. There appears to be a number of panic "oppose" votes.
What
do you think?
For what it's worth, I do find the formulations "Jews", "American Jews" etc rather awkward and find they have unfortunate connotations. Is it preferable to have "Jewish people" inconsistent with "Buddhists"? I don't know.
I do know that tags instead of categories (which is what these really are) would make this easier: "Jewish", "American".
