Patient Ethnicity / Race Extension

The Patient Resource seems to be lacking defined Extensions for Ethnicity and Race. Are there specifications for these extensions elsewhere?

Concepts of race and ethnicity vary greatly between jurisdictions.

If you are after US stuff, see the US Core http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/history.html
Especially http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/2018Jan/StructureDefinition-us-core-patient.html.
