Revelation 13 says that the beast is  "a man".  Most, if not all Christians today, believe that "a man" is a reference to one individual man.  But, throughout the prophetic scriptures of Daniel and Revelation, the beast or man of lawlessness is symbolized as that of "the ten horns".   Therefore, could it be that the beast is a particular race/nationality of man instead of one individual man?

no.

the last 30 years has introduced a lot of confusion instead of clarity to this .

go back further, 

look in foxes book of martyrs, and other testimonies through the centuries.

A bit of misunderstanding here. First, Rev. 13 nowhere calls the Beast a man.

Second, your presume that the Beast and the Man of Sin/Lawlessness are the same person, which Scripture nowhere states. The latter is a man, certainly; but the Beast ascends out of the Abyss (Rev. 11:7; 17:8), where the fallen angels were cast. 2 Peter 2:4; Jude 6

Actually there are 2 end-time "beasts" spoken of in Revelation; one being the scarlet-coloured beast called Babylon the great, AND, the man of lawlessness (symbolized as "the ten horns") upon Babylon the great.

as long as it takes, there are only a handful of people who can do this, and none of them are here 24/7. The volunteer their time here and have real lives, so be patient, I would say don't panic if it is not approved within 24 hours.

one being the scarlet-coloured beast called Babylon the great,   FALSE: BABYLON THE GREAT RIDES THE BEAST, SHE IS NOT THE BEAST,

 AND, the man of lawlessness (symbolized as "the ten horns") upon Babylon the great. FALSE: NO SCRIPTURE SAYS ANY SUCH THING.

Correct. And the "little horn" of Daniel is the King of Fierce Countenance, the Man of Sin, the Son of Perdition, the Antichrist, the Beast, who is to come in the future, after the Abomination of Desolation is set up in the third Temple at Jerusalem. Daniel, Revelation, the Olivet Discourse, and 2 Thessalonians 2, must all be tied together. This man will call himself Christ and God, and many will believe him.
