A man named Jeffrey Reitz seems to be a big part of this concept. He was the guy that told Sigal Samuel about this concept and also is the co-author of a scholarly article featuring this subject. I searched his name on Wikipedia and spotted it in " Economic impact of immigration to Canada" and " CANZUK International", in an immigration context. More context on his background would be helpful. —  Mr. Guye ( talk) ( contribs)  21:56, 7 August 2018 (UTC) reply

Alexandra Kassir and Jeffrey Reitz likely coined the subject "reactive ethnicity" in the aforementioned journal. That is concerning because most instances of this term that I am finding so far are all directly connected to one of those two people. This does not look good for notability. —  Mr. Guye ( talk) ( contribs)  22:08, 7 August 2018 (UTC) reply

I found an independent use of the term, but they seem to be defining it a bit differently. Their definition clearly includes social pressure instead of just legal pressure. The source is:

• It also seems to be published in 2011, which is before the Kassir–Reitz article. I guess Kassir and Reitz didn't coin it. —  Mr. Guye ( talk) ( contribs)  22:21, 7 August 2018 (UTC) reply

Alejandro Portes and Rubén G. Rumbaut. They are now the earliest users of the term. And all the other journals have cited "Portes and Rumbaut 2001".  —  Mr. Guye ( talk) ( contribs)  22:31, 7 August 2018 (UTC) reply
