Wow!!... could do so many images for this word ETHNIC but after spending all day thinking about it decided on the image below. Partly because it is self explanatory and secondly l love the magazine cover! The other thing about this image is how l had to take it. I felt like a spy because WHSmith does not allow you to take photographs in their shops..not many shops do actually! So l had to make sure none of the staff were any where need me...shoot...and run!!!!! Luckily l managed it and l was so happy that it came out in focus!!
