I found this interesting article about nonethnic communities.

Root Explanation

Nonethnic → It is formed from "non-" (meaning not) and "ethnic" (from Greek "ethnos", meaning nation or people). The word "nonethnic" refers to something that is not related to a particular ethnic group or nationality.

Memory Tip

Think of 'non-' meaning 'not' and 'ethnic' relating to a 'nation' or 'people' — so nonethnic means not related to any specific nation or people.
