I did not know that Sherpa is an ethnicity. That it is, logically means that it's weird to use that word in English to refer to the person who guides climbers on the mountain.
"My Sherpa set up the tent" is a weird thing to say. Like "the Japanese made us some sushi" or "my Finn started the sauna".
