Take note..other than the "United States" Most of the countries listed above are homogeneous. A good portion of the United States, is made up of people who are of mixed heritage(black/white, white/indian, chinese/white..etc), and many of those classified as "white" in the US are actually of Arabic/Semitic/Middle eastern ethnic decent, as opposed to being "Anglo Saxons."

It's also important to take note that many of the countries listed above make up continents where predominantly Asian/Black/Hispanic people are populated(ie All African Countries, South American Countries, all Asian and Pacific Island Countries)

If we were to truly add all the numbers up to determine exactly how many peoples from various countries would be classified as non "Anglo Saxon, the numbers would be staggering. The same logic can be applied to those who would not be classified as "white."

whobdamandog
So case in point, Anglo Saxons and most of those considered "white", are indeed a "minority" when looking at race/ethnicity from a global perspective.

botankus
That's what I always thought.

So there are 3 countries with under 10,000 people? I should move there, unless it's like 2 square miles in area.

fini
WELL Botankus, Monsterrat got less than 10,000, cause most of the island is of limits due to a volcano that has been erupting( on and off) for the last 10 yrs or so.

I always liked the sound of that mass migration theory thing. The concept that many western/white societies and Japan are aging and with lowered birth rates will be unable to sustain their current living conditions and industrial standard without a significant influx of people from the nations with a "young" population - India, certain Asian states and the like.

I like to think if it ever happened it would lead to a more dynamic, more fluid humanity, or at the very least a significant change in global culture and politics as old world west assimilates or is assimilated by dynamic new east.

And I remember my innitial surprise back in my young school days at the figure that I think showed there was more people living in Beijing then all the people in Australia's 3 most populous states combined. Or something to that effect.



Still, other then the volcano and the reduction assessable land it's a nice place to visit.

so Anglo Saxon now represent the so called white race???? I guess I as a Scandinavian area what people would call the "white" race but we aint no Anglo-Saxon.

Generaly speaking I think it comes down to the reason people have a child.... (I remember from my geography days...) That people in the 3rd world countries need children to help run the farms so they have 6-9 kids... While People from more developed nations only want 2-3 kids, and quite a few familys don't even have 1 these days...

Yes. People increasingly choosing to put off a family in favour of a career, or just living a casual single life. And also the expense of living and living in a way one is accustomed to - a common complaint at the moment in Sydney, with housing prices, fuel, food prices, private school fees etc is that people don't feel that can have a large family (or sometimes a family at all) due to the cost of living in order to live the way they want. And in some cases people just don't seem to feel that drive to have children. Seems surprising, but the great American dream, the Great Australian dream and all that, house, car, 2.5 kids doesn't seem quite as dominating anymore.

And in a way it's true about 3rd world conditions - importance of family numbers in terms of survival and a lack of family planning advice and contraceptive measures mean large populations, so much so that high child mortality rates in certain places don't have a large detrimental effect on population growth.

No actually they don't. I guess you didn't detect the sarcasm in the post above. (ie semetic = white, arabic = white, etc) Generally many denote angle-saxons as the main ethnicity which is representative of the "white" race. I've always found that amusing, considering they are a very small ethnic group.

finti
I gues I didnt I just saw the thing about Anglo Saxon and I thought well anothter deluted wasp on the loose.

Over here in Europe it aint an issue of anglo saxon besides they are now refered to as Brits, which again in may eyes is a tattooed hooligan that turns pink during vacation under the Spanish sun. So they(anglo saxon) be the ethnicity which is representative of the white race must only exist in the minds of well anglo saxons or wasp`s. happy

Darth Jello
Well, according to Michael Savage, it's all a conspiracy. See blacks hispanics, and arabs all got together and decided to migrate into white areas and then promote abortions and homosexuality in an effort to outbreed the "white" race. It's all a diabolical conspiracy that happened when white people were too busy watching the wayne brady show and eating morningstar vegetarian tv dinners to attend this meeting. wacko

Which begs the question: How did Caucasian Man become the dominant force in human affairs?

What makes you think the caucasian man is the dominant minority in human affairs..wink

Quite honestly, I believe it's the Asians who control everything...think about it everything is made in either Japan, Taiwan or China nowadays, and a good portion of the world's population is in China..so yeah, I think we all should be fearing the Asians right about now...:fear:

True in Canada by the year (somewhere after 2017 can't remember) Canada will have a 17% minority population. 1 in 6 people.
So there are a lot of minorties in this country as some people think otherwise.
Canada's minority population has gone up, which is not a bad thing at all.
There has been massive growth around Toronto because of that.

I live in a suburb of Toronto called Brampton (pop 415,000)
Over 1/3 of the population is South Asian. Its almost 50% minorities and is growing really fast. It will have over 630,000 people by 2030.
By the way the city is a really good safe city. The south asian community take over this town where in 1990 it would be hard to see a minority person at all. All the growth of the city is driven by that group.

In Canada the demographics are changing as Toronto is 50% minorities (which are the majority now) and so are the bigger cities. However in rural areas or some medium size cities they have very small minority populations. All of them are in Greater Toronto area and Vancouver.

Yeah, that's the way to holiday. I bet no taxi driver would dream of overcharging them just because they aren't local.

Actually in a way it reminds me of some of those bad vs. threads (not on KMC of course) - "Vikings vs. Drunken English Soccer Hooligans"



But then again just having a statistical majority doesn't always help, after all as we have seen, on a global political level the "west" is still a dominant force (with Asia and China very close) regardless of population majorities.

You have a point, but unfortunately we're in a "Nuclear Age" and quite frankly..in this particular age, anyone is capable of winning the game.

Could be China, could be The US, could be India, could be Pakistan, could be Egypt, could be Africa..etc..etc.

Whichever country get's to the trigger first, will be considered the "dominant force."

Kind of reminds me of that Disney/Pixar Movie titled "A bug's life"

I remember the grasshoppers always thought they had the ants under their heals..the ants did all of the work, while the grasshoppers reaped all the rewards.

Until one day, the ants finally started to realize that there were more of them than the grasshoppers.

I remember what happened to the grasshoppers at the end..and it wasn't pretty..wink

Yes, and the problem would be that their influence permiates the polictical, economic and social strata of most nations. The modern would is quite interlated, global markets, global work forces and all that. Would Asia, at least the upper crust, want to tumble the great western consumer powers? When that's where so much money comes from? Would the Arab rulers be happy in the oil consumers got into trouble and couldn't pay as well? Probably not.

A wise man once stated..

"A divided enemy..is much easier to defeat than a united one.."

I believe you're over emphasizing the importance of the "western" world. Many great civilizations have fallen, and the world has continued to operate in a normal fashion. Civilizations such as Rome, Babylon, Greece, etc. Humanity has always picked up the pieces and continued to flourish after such dramatic changes.

Generally most great civilizations are broken down from within..before they're broken down from without. Culture wars and bickering over silly social issues are among the defining things that one can use to identify a great civilizations decline from power and influence.

These behaviors are usually followed by pointless wars, failing economies, and unequal distribution of "wealth" by the "upper crust" within the society.

The Arabs most definitely would..they would probably want to do something similar to what the United states is doing in Iraq. Conquer and re-assimilate. I believe the Asians would do the same thing, possibly with less of a religious bent to their attack.

Couldn't agree more. I am always impressed by the fact that, if there is a baby around, you hear it gurgling and making all kinds of sounds, there is no way you can tell what "race" it is until you look. Even then, the facial expressions, the movements: purely human, before all the "cultural imprinting" takes place.

Unfortunately, I suspect there is some rather deep psychological hard-wiring in us which makes us focus more on our differences than our similarities - and we are all far more similar than we are different. It also doesn't help that we live in a hyper-competitive world, with limited resources, which compounds whatever Us-vs-Them hard-wiring may exist. Such wiring may've served a survival purpose in the past; but in the Global Village it is obsolete, if not downright maladaptive.
