There were many many many different ethnicities cited. I tried to combine them where it was plausible in order to make this graph easier to read, but I also did not want to risk removing any important data, so it is very long and complex. By far the most common ethnicity is white/caucasian. Many of the other categories could easily also be interpreted as caucasian or white. This directly relates to the graph below which lists national identities. 
Many researchers over the course of many decades have confirmed the popularity of Indian film in Russia, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Germany, and various other countries. However, my research found few respondents from those areas, either in their current nationality or in their ethnic identity. In order to explain this contradiction, I turned to the more detailed responses I requested from those who do live in those areas. It appears that, while there is a large and old fan tradition, it is one that deals with the films unquestioningly and without analysis. In order to find a community that will discuss the films in an analytical and detailed manner, these few fans who responded were forced to turn online. Therefore, my conclusion is that for the majority of the fans from those countries who have less of an intellectual relationship with the films, there is no need to search out an online community as they have a ready-made community in the “real” world. And therefore, they did not see and respond to this survey and are not present in my results.
