I find culture=* the best so far.

I find it specialised enough (compared to _type=*, origin=*, category=*,
group=* ...)
I find it accurate enough.
I find it generic enough (compared to more restrictive nationality=* and
even ethnicity=*) so that it enables tagging for ethnic group but also
other types of social group and subcultures.

like:
amenity=hairdresser
name=Scalp
culture=punk
?

but culture=* is already used. 84 uses:

kleinkunst
museum
music
roman
celtic
youth_club
theatre
art_gallery
arts_centre
...

ethnic=* is mostly used in Colombia (x1000) from an OCHA import (that I didn't know was compatible with OSM license) associated with place=hamlet, ethnic=yes and ethnic_group=*.

ethnicity=* is used with values
indian
chinese
italian
mexican
Italian
yes
asian
polish
thai
czech

Some uses are strange like restaurants in USA with cuisine=national, ethnicity=*.

Based on the current uses and the fact that culture may have several meanings, ethnicity=* seams to me the best choice with values as similar as possible to cuisine=*.
