Distinguishing nationality and ethnicity

[edit]

WP:OPENPARA states: “In most modern-day cases this will mean the country of which the person is a citizen, national or permanent resident, or if notable mainly for past events, the country where the person was a citizen, national or permanent resident when the person became notable.”

The information in the sources referring to the subject as Bangladeshi is referring to her ethnicity not her nationality. She was born and bought up in England therefore she is a British citizen, and her parents are from Bangladesh. The subject is both a permanent resident of the UK and has become notable in the UK not Bangladesh. Therefore “Bangladeshi singer and actress who was born in Britain” is not only misleading but contradictory, and “English singer and actress of Bangladeshi descent” is more accurate and appropriate.
