Are you sure you mean ethnicity? My understanding is ethnicity refers to things like language, perhaps nationality, regional culture, etc. I have friends who have the same ethnicity as myself: we speak the same language, eat the same foods, share the same culture, etc. but 100% of their ancestors up to their parents are from Samoa. So, it would seem that they would be affected by medical things that are specific to Pacific Islanders even though their ethnicity is not Pacific Islander.
