Given that China’s population is overwhelmingly more ethnically and culturally homogeneous
What? It’s more diverse, not less. There are hundreds of living indigenous languages in China, and some of which aren’t even in the Sino-Tibetan language family. Just as one example, there are a several of Turkish ethnic groups, which are different from each other, and very different from Han, Tibetan, Koreanic, etc. cultures.
Well then @geoff@midwest.social isn’t being a dick with his “wonder” statement, because we both looked it up and got two completely different answers.
My reading states that china is 92% Han, and is overwhelmingly more homogeneous than the US.
I’m ASSUMING that your right for number of ethnic groups being larger, however the predominant ethnic group is wildly larger than the predominant group in the US.
Either way I was only really making my statement because I thought @Kefla@hexbear.net sounded like a twat.
Turns out it’s easy to claim you’re more diverse when you count people who’s great great great grandfather’s came from different cities in the British Islands as different ethnic groups, but consider everyone East of the Urals to be an undifferentiated mass
Um okay? If we just say everyone who isn’t African is the same ethnicity, which is obviously not the case, that would make America 85% homogeneous, as opposed to china at 92%.
White people are barely over half in America anymore bud.
“if we say that white and black people are different races, and continue to treat Asians as an undifferentiated horde, then the massive population of second class slave descendants means America is more diverse!”
Ok. Given that China’s population is overwhelmingly more ethnically and culturally homogeneous, I wonder if we should treat it as apples to oranges.
Better?

Your being purposefully obtuse. This isn’t worth discussing anymore. Hope you have a good day.
Hey look, it’s Satre’s anti-semite.
