ethnic groups
This is what I usually use. I prefer this to ethnic community because one can be considered to be a member of an ethnic group without having interest in being part of that group's community.

ethnic community
I think it needs ethnic too, to explain that's what makes it a community, rather than, for example, location.

Note from asker:
| Would you use ethnic community rather than ethnic group? |

: "Ethnic" may imply that they are ethnic Romanians, Bucharans, etc. They are not. The term "Jewish community" is not location-related. No need to complicate matters.
