How do “race” and “ethnicity” differ?

Etymological speaking "Ethnos" is the Greek for nation (Strict meaning a foreign nation) so you could have someone of sub-Saharan African parentage who was ethnically Finnish. (ie culturally and linguistically)

Bit I don't think that's what they mean

Since there is only one race - the human race - I usually inquire about a person’s ethnicity. Interesting answers.
