Answer 1

Situational ethnicity

Step-by-step explanation:

Ethnicity is the state of being a member of a social group which has intersecting natural and cultural norms, traits and traditions. Ethnicity is different from race in the sense that the former deals with social traits while race has to do with the ideology that a select group of individuals share particular phenotypic characteristics.

Situational ethnicity is a sense of belonging based on one's ancestry, values, traditions that is peculiar to a social setting and context, this social setting being Milwaukee.
