Ethnic groups typically are self-evidently unique. They will have all or some of the following: a unique language, style of behavior, cuisine, general appearance, communal history and/or set of values. In these cases, ethnicity is a form of self-consciousness and collective consciousness, not a status to be applied.

That being said, a number of more authoritarian governments, like China, Vietnam, Russia, Iran, and others give special dispensation or protection to groups of people (usually ethnically defined, but sometimes religiously or regionally defined) who are minorities in the country by recognizing their "minority ethnic status". In China, for example, recognized minorities (or Minzu) have affirmative action in universities or in hiring. However, not every minority in China has Minzu Status and, therefore, unrepresented minorities petition for the government to recognize them in order to receive the basket of benefits afforded to the recognized minorities.
