When refering to any of these groups (Afghans,Moroccans,etc) we are only giving a rough geographic,cultural identity,language dialect, and religous sect.

Dom,
Thank you for going to the trouble of explaining some of these things to me. It is very kind of you and most appreciated.
I have much to learn!

Ward, I understand what you mean re. giving a rough cultural identity etc, and this is acceptable.
The problem was my failure to be aware that within this rough cultural identity there was so much cultural diversity!

Richard.
