"white" people coming from Europe to the United States weree not classified merely as white, but as belonging to ethnic groups identified with the country of origin and natal language (thus, Irish-Americans, Italian-Americans). Perhaps one could say that after the great northern migration of Blacks, they were re-integrated into the US economy as an ethnic-group (African-American) rather than just a "race." Certainly, African-Americans and Nigerian-Americans belong to the same "race," but are different ethnic groups. So I would not say "ethnic group" is just a new way of talking about "race." This doesn't mean that there aren't any similarities: Walter Benn Michaels has argued that cultural identity and ethnic identity in the US are today used as essentializing categories just as race was in the eighteen hundreds.

Thisa is not a bad start, but "ethnicity" and "race" aren't quite the same thing; these discourses developed at different times and were used in different ways (so I cut the suggestion that ethnicity has replaced race)
