The integer numbers in the legend option should refer to the order of
plots, _not_ to values in your variable -ethnicity2-. Try the
following instead:

legend(order(1 "Sweden" 2 "Arab" 3 "Somalia" 4 "SouthAsia" 5
"Ethiopia" 6 "EastAsia" 7 "Africa"))

BTW, you could also use -twoway kdensity- directly.

see -help connect_options-, especially -lpattern()- and -lcolor()-
