I understand what you mean... but common usage is odd. Ask a few questions - poke around - and you'll see most people are pretty hazy on the differences between the ideas of race and ethnicity. I try to use whichever seems like it will be most clear at the time to the person I'm speaking with. I have enough problems with people confusing my choice of language as it is. I will cater on this point to avoid making confusion worse.
