I personally wouldn't have an ethnicity as a background, as it can lead to a rash of cookie-cutter characters, but backgrounds can be used to highlight some aspects of the character's culture.
For instance, most Peshwah characters will probably have the Outlander background but nothing should prevent a player from taken a different background. For instance, if your Peshwah character became a mercenary, you could select the soldier background. If he had been captured by the Afridhi, you could create a slave background.
Many High Thonians will select the noble background, but an High Thonian who was abandoned at birth could select the urchin background.
Thonians could be anything.
