Apartheid South Africa was ethnically diverse...... Still an ethno-state.
Ethno-states aren't defined as lacking diversity, they are defined by an ethnic creating and maintaining a dominant hierarchy of that diversity.
not disagreeing but want to point out by that definition America is an ethnostate. Which again I'm not disagreeing with.
For the vast majority of its history absolutely. It wasn't until the civil rights movement where that was even somewhat debatable.
it's the case even now
