Chinese term (edited): 民族
Selected

ethnicity/people group

I think "nationality" is incorrect because it implies belonging to a nation (in the political sense). 民族 has more to do with one's culture and language than one's location. Someone's 民族 could be Chinese, but their 国籍 could be American. So, "ethnicity" would be the technical term, but the phrase "people group" is also correct. I think "people group" fits nicely in your context.

As to the full translation, I'm not sure about the part about the world appreciating something. Can you provide more context?

cultural, racial, ethnical

Need more text to provide a better translation, because each of these terms refer to a group of people but in slightly different ways, whether it is behavioral, historical or biological.
