Opposed to or acting against ethnic identity, ethnic groups, or ethnicity as a concept.
From anti- (against) + ethnic, from Greek ethnos (people, nation). The term emerged in political and social discourse when discussing assimilationist policies or discrimination.
Some governments historically pursued 'antiethnic' assimilation policies, trying to erase minority languages and cultures—but ironically, suppressing ethnic identity often strengthens it, as people resist forced conformity.
