Danes generally regard themselves as a nationality and reserve the word "ethnic" for the description of recent immigrants,[28] sometimes referred to as "new Danes".[29] The contemporary Danish national identity is based on the idea of "Danishness", which is founded on principles formed through historical cultural connections and is typically not based on ethnic heritage.[30]
