Not every ethnic group possesses a distinct territory. Indeed, before the state of Israel was created in 1948, the Jews were without any territory they could claim as their own, even though many of them were conscious of their ethnicity. The Gypsies of East and Central Europe do not have any fixed territory that can be used to define their ethnicity. The Hutus and Tutsis share a common territory in Burundi and Rwanda. Race is not so clear cut either.
Culture is one of the most contested issues in politics.
There is hardly any group of people that has a homogenous culture. People are often divided by status, region, occupation, class, gender and generation. In societies deeply divided by class such as is the case in England, it is difficult to talk about a common English culture, when basic things like food habits, musical preferences, sports, speech, mannerisms and dress patterns vary considerably between the upper and the working classes.
