The RH factor is NOT racially conssistent with what you have stated. There are MANY ( most ! ) whites, who are RH + and NOT from " interbreeding " . RH negative is the oddity, yes dear, even and especially amongst Caucazoids.

A mother, who is RH negative and is carrying an RH+ baby, is NOT going to suffer terribly / die. What old wives tales ( or did you just make that up ? ) are you getting this from ? Neither is aan RH+ mother, carrying an RH negative baby, going to suffer terribly / die.

Oh and an " ethnicity " refers to a person / persons from ddifferent places ( i.c. Sweden, Germany, Austria, England, America,etc. ) and NOT race, per se.

There is no incidence of Rh- among non-white groups, or groups without some white admixture (i.e. Filipino's). The incidence of Rh+ blood among whites is directly related to their distance from the Atlantic Coast (Rh- is most predominant among the Berbers of Morrocco, Spain, Ireland and the UK, and Norway), while the further one goes from the coast, the more likely it is that people are really of mixed blood, like the modern Greeks and southern Italians.

Ummm .. why then do hospitals give rhogham shots out to Rh- mothers bearing Rh+ children? For fun? To collect extra money from insurance companies?

The terms of ethnicity, race, etc. are a mess. Simply put, it is clear that Alpine Europeans (southern Germans, Yugoslavs, northern Italians, French, Spaniards) are different from Nordic Europeans (Swedes, Irish, Scots, Brits, Dutch, northern Germans), and are different from Mediterrean Europeans. And they are just as different as are Chinese and Mongols, and Turks, and Arabs. If you can't tell them apart as a group, you've obviously never been to those countries. They not only look different, but also behave different, and even believe different (is it really an accident of history that most of the Nordics were swept up in the Reformation, while the Alpines and Mediterreans were not?). You are free to call all these people ethnic groups, and I can call them racial groups and we can all site biology texts to "prove" it.
