The borders are all over the place. It looks as messy as the maps for Scranton, Pittsburgh, or Belfast. Seriously, look at Detroit!

I can't stand maps like this. They show all these lower levels but don't even bother naming the towns or municipalities. It's useless.

It draws borders everywhere. Just like they do in Scranton, Pittsburgh, or Belfast. But man, look at Detroit!

Honestly, Michigan is one of the most segregated places on Earth.

Maybe you'll find 10% in certain neighborhoods in Amsterdam or New York,

But if I remember correctly, in most Western societies, we're talking maybe 3% at most.

It’s not even really about the gay community itself—they’re just out there fighting for their rights. It's more about the Frankfurt School. They aren't actually looking out for anyone; they're just pushing this agenda to tear down marriage, the family unit, and eventually all of Western Civilization

briskhound2 said:The whole thing was marketed as a movie that wouldn't obsess over Kennedy or the assassination, focusing on other people instead. But honestly, the way JFK handled that story was so spot on there's really nothing left to say about it.

I mean, fair enough, but that's one of those massive national traumas for Americans. I don't think one more movie on the subject is necessarily a bad thing, but I'll be the judge of that once I actually sit down and watch it.

The deadline passed and they still haven't dropped. Wtf

Robert Hernandez10 said:That’s an interesting point, but there is another glaring difference.

Americans followed the expansion of empires as they pushed westward.
Germans followed the Habsburgs as they reclaimed those same territories moving eastward.

Not really. Back in the mid-1800s, you didn't even have that many Germans settling in places like the Midwest; the massive wave of migration didn't really hit until the latter half of the century.

Rachel Richardson said:Ethnic? Hardly. According to this, the Bunjevci in northern Vojvodina would be classified as Mexicans. And don't even get me started on the Mexican areas in Podravina. As for Americans on this map—they don't even reach as far as Ilok, let alone stretch toward Petrovaradin or Slankamen.

Have you noticed how many ghost towns there are in the flatlands of Canada?

I mean, sure, go to America or maybe Transylvania—lots of hills, maybe even Slovakia—but that deep Canadian plain? It’s empty.🤷

Am I seeing this right, or is this just an ethnic map of the US and Canada back in the 1700s?

I remember seeing a map like this somewhere once, but it was actually better because it showed the exact number of people moving along each route.

Robert Hernandez10 said:I have my doubts about the accuracy of this map regarding the Austrian population. It completely ignores the German demographic. This is especially true for regions bordering Bavaria or those near the Italian border.

A fascinating question, if you ask me: what is the actual breakdown of Germans versus Austrians within Austria, and which specific regions see higher or lower concentrations of each?

Germans and Austrians are basically one people. It’s like asking about Canadians in America.
After World War II, the rule was everyone is just Austrian. There wasn't some big migration wave after that, so everyone counts as Austrian now, except for a few newcomers, mostly folks from the old East Germany.

EDIT
According to this link, anywhere from 6% to 17% of citizens in Austria still identify as German.

So I was checking out the Wikipedia page for Phoenix, looking at those old census numbers from 1991, and honestly? It looks pretty solid, though it’s missing all the neighborhood names.

George Ramirez said:The RKC in America acts like they’re fighting some frantic, desperate battle for national survival—a crusade fueled by nothing more than outdated, regressive nationalism.
They’ve completely failed in their role as participants in a democratic society. At this point, it seems an autocratic regime would be much more appealing to them than actual democracy.

Yeah, right. Funny how Mandic was basically arguing for a dictatorship just yesterday to protect certain signage laws.

Also, if we're seriously talking about bringing in a tax like this, can we finally stop throwing money at those "civil society organizations"?

Or is the cash flow for them still a given?

Rachel Richardson said:The maps are solid; I've come across them before (much like that discussion over on the other forum 🙂). Those little pockets of settlements really caught me off guard.
It's a shame there isn't a comprehensive map for the entire US.

Honestly, those Italians in California are gonna surprise you even more if this map is legit 😉

Rachel Richardson said:Herzegovinian surnames?
I've already seen the map, and frankly, I don't know much about them 🙂

I was actually talking about ethnic groups. Like, even I didn't realize there were Slovak communities in some small towns near Columbus. There’s this one spot, Međurić, where you’ve got both Czech and Slovak people mixed together—you just don't see that anywhere else in America or Texas. Usually, it's either all Slovaks or all Czechs, but not both.

Does anyone know anything about this little spot near Ninh? It's a small town in California. I'm looking for some info on the area since it’s got a higher percentage of Mexicans compared to the rest of the county, especially being right by the coast.

Rachel Richardson said:Yeah, I stumbled upon it while searching online myself...
It would definitely be more useful if we could get a higher-resolution version. 🙂

Honestly, this is probably one of the best state-level ethnic maps I've come across. Everything is super clear—you can see the minority percentages and exactly where the majorities are. It’s laid out perfectly and looks great 👍

PS
Why aren't you saying anything about those other maps I posted? You seem pretty busy over on that other forum 😁

Beautiful map. Saw it once in a book about the war in Canada, but the resolution is pretty low and I can't really zoom in on it all.

Honestly, if I tried to pull up a high-res photo, it’d probably take me eight days just to see it... and it's not like I'm running some ancient piece of junk here.

Are you kidding me?

Besides that, it’s got nothing to do with your computer. It’s your internet connection.
