Most people conflate ethnicity and race, when the reality is: ethnicity is cultural and race is biological. This is why I say a better term for "ethno-Nationalism" would be "racial Nationalism." A pretty good example is Hispanics, who can be mestizo, white, or even black.

In Dixie, we use the word "folk" quite often, usually to refer to someone's "folks" or family, but if you say, "the Dixon Folk," everyone will know you're talking about the Dixon People (although a lot of Dixons don't know we're called Dixons).

I tend to use the word "People," with a capital P, to refer to a nationality, while the word "people," with a lower-case p, is used as the plural of person. Honestly, though, we should go back to capitalizing every noun.
