Is Falcao not an Indian? If so, what is his ethnic identity, and what is his nationality? Cheers, Santosh RESPONSE: Falcão was not born in the Republic of India, so he cannot be a born Indian. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/ethnic eth·nic : a. Of, relating to, or characteristic of a sizable group of people sharing a common and distinctive racial, national, religious, linguistic, or cultural heritage. UNQUOTE. As far as ethnic identity is concerned, he shares characteristics of a sizeable group of people sharing a common and distinctive, national, religious, linguistic, or cultural heritage of Goa or Estado da India. As far as race is concerned, maybe descendent of Kadambas, Shivaji, Dravidians, Aryans or the Portuguese themselves.Or maybe genes from Uncle Timoja Dr. Ferdinando dos Reis Falcão.
