The list is sort of accurate for Germany, and the point still carries. In Germany, the notion of ethnicity typically gets munged into nationality even when it really means ethnicity. Specifically, "Ausländer" (literally, "foreigner") is typically applied to someone not ethnically north-west European, even if born in Germany, though not typically to someone like myself (an American of north-west European stock). A Russian, or Pole, however, which to American eyes would just appear to be another flavor of pasty white, will often be noted as a separate group. Part of that is codified in German nationality law which is still based in jus sanguinis, based on "blood", in contrast with jus soil which is for example used in the US, UK and France. For example, someone with Turkish parents born in Germany must still be naturalized to become a German citizen. What I noticed when first moving to Germany was that the concept of ethnicity independent of nationality scarcely exists, throwing yet another curve-ball into a site which is collecting such data. By and large, as another commenter noted, Germany is fairly homogenous, however in cities things do get mixed up quite a bit. Specifically in my part of Berlin (Kreuzberg) there's a lot of variance. (Probably the the neighborhood in Germany with the lowest percentage of ethnic Germans.)
