"In the 2006 census of New Zealand 67.6 percent of the population identified ethnically as "New Zealand European" and 14.6 percent as Māori.[1] Other major ethnic groups include Asian (9.2 percent) and Pacific peoples (6.9 percent), while 11.1 percent identified themselves simply as a "New Zealander" (or similar) and 1 percent identified with other ethnicities." Total around 109%. Congrgats. Also, the total isn't shown. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.36.67.38 (talk) 12:02, 18 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Where was the Laotian data taken from?

None of the references available mention Laotian figures. Where did the numbers for certain entries like Laotian come from, why were they added and not referenced? 125.253.96.175 (talk) 07:00, 19 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Americans

I note that "Americans" are automatically classified as part of the European ethnic group (presumably by Statistics New Zealand). Surely this would create an anomaly that should be noted in the text, as a proportion of them are probably African-American and a few may be First Nation. Although we can't do anything about the figures, is this worth noting in the text? Or are these groups separately listed somewhere I haven't noticed? Grutness...wha? 23:30, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I find this really strange as Americans are not an ethnic group, but just a political identity that makes it easier to unify a people on a national level. Even if we decide to make them one for the sake of this article, they cannot just be "European" since U.S. citizens are of many origins from all around the world. I feel it would be much more appropriate if we used "North American" since that is where the "American" identity originally came from. Even then that can seem false because as said, the American identity is just a mix of cultures and ideas from other parts of the world and it's hard to say that it is of purely European, African, Native American origin, etc. --Scarslayer01 (talk) 00:19, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The statistical standard for ethnicity is quite helpful. There are actually separate ethnic group classifications for African Americans and Indigenous Americans, however as numbers are too small to display, they are grouped under "Other MELAA" and "Other Other" respectively. "American" under the European category contains both "White American" (or similar) and "American" not further defined.Lcmortensen (mailbox) 11:29, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
