You guys aren't even trying anymore.


Even if ethnicity is a social construct it is one built upon a racial, cultural, geographical, historical and complex set of social factors, and explains why the assimilation process I outlined is EXACTLY how one becomes something they are not.




And NONE of you have provided a good explanation as to whether the kids of Swedes born in Japan who live there will be considered to have "Japanese" ethnicity.... or Swedish? Would you refer to them as Japanese? And if not, ask yourself why the double standard?
That's because Japan, Bangladesh and Iceland are ethnostates. Ethnicity isn't the same across the world.Even originally a Nation and an Ethnic group was the same thing. The Kurds for example are a Nation of people without a state. The people of a state make up a nationality and the people of a nation are an ethnic group.

You can't compare the idea of ethnicity to just Japan as it is in a unique situation. Nigeria for example has a large ethnic group called Yoruba. Benin a neighboring country has the same ethnic group known as the Yoruba. They both speak Yoruba but one country speaks French and that affects their Yoruba, the other speaks English and that affects their Yoruba. They have been split for 50 years or more now, does that mean their the same ethnicity? Then in certain countries their sub-ethnic groups, and in certain countries like America and Mexico and Israel ethnicity is across several races. France has tried and successfully taken the route of America, thus someone like Kylian Mbappe is French, and when you look at his life it doesn't represent the nations of his origin and only in France would a Cameroonian marry an Algerian and adopt someone born in Kinshasa. The fact that his parents are even together wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for France.

“riots that exposed a deep schism between poor North African immigrants and mainstream France”

These people will never, ever be true Frenchmen so long as they cling to the very backwards and failed cultures that necessitated their move to France in the first place. They are first and foremost citizens of the Ummah engaging in Hijrah with no interest in adapting to French cultural norms and mores. That's the way it's always, always always been. Charles Martel understood this. Afonso Henriques understood this. Ferdinand and Isabella of Aragon knew this. Jan Sobieski knew this.

Marine Le Pen knows this.

Merkel, Macron, Junker, et al believe the above images can survive when the below images become the majority and more commonplace across Europe. They are ****ing idiots. ]
The same Macron who's deporting undocumented immigrants more than Trump is?

This car burning ritual is a well known immigrant tradition. This isn't new. It's been covered for years.

Diversity is our strength.

They drive them just to distinguish themselves from - to BE - non-German.

I was a SAAB owner during the golden age of where that Swede car was intelligent, intelligently functional, and intelligently ergonomic - until it was stupidized to a Detroit type globalism, and finally destroyed.

The Volvos were right-wing bunker cars - with, as usual, NO AGILITY.

It was like a lard (Volvo) versus an Omega 3 car.

It was beavers versus otters, respectively.

Can't they just get along? Well, SAAB was forced to focus on Jet Fighters.

Sweden will be Volvoized when the Muslim attacks become potentially takeover numbers.

Ethnicities definitely reflect through their products.

Hey, maybe Muslims will drive Volvos as their evolution improves, where dodge-em cars will be - the way - where Volvos can't dodge.

When I moved from Flint to Montana, I was shown the Indian cars in Montana, which were bashed right after they became Indian cars.

Native American Indians are opposite Muslins, though both are car bashers. (Different strokes, one runs on ethanol, the other runs on religion.)

I know I'm a lousy communicator, definitely not Reagan, ya know.
