You're clearly conflating ethnicity with language.

1/ Just because people talk the same language doesn't mean they have the same ethnicity.

ex: French is spoken as a native language on every continent.

2/ Just because people have allegedly the same ethnicity, doesn't mean they share the same language or even culture.

ex: All black people living in Africa do not share the same culture, yet Americans reduce black people to a single ethnic group.
