Maybe if there are enough people of color who've grown up in Denmark, then Danish is no longer a white ethnicity.
Also, I don't know whether the connotations of "ethnicite'" are the same as the connotations of "ethnicity".
How do you get the accent? I tried typing alt-0233, and my computer just beeped at the numbers.
For unusual characters, googling some sort of vague description and then copy-pasting from one of the first 5 results often works, e.g. 'e accent' or (as a purely contrived example) an eth (ð).
Or you can use a site like this which allows you to draw the character and then copy paste.
I copy the character from a character map.
I have an Italian keyboard. ;-) The Alt-nnnn thing only works with the left Alt key, the number keypad and only under Windows, AFAIK.
Mac laptops have alt+keyboard keys, so é would be alt+e then e if you're on a mac.
Ubuntu does the same with the Italian keyboard, only it's AltGr and , (comma) for the acute accent (which I use when I need one on a vowel other than E in languages other than Italian). I think it can be made to do the same with a US keyboard (where the right Alt becomes the AltGr).
