Edessa is absolutely overflowing with people from Microasia...

He probably had most of those Mexican people...

I was doing a little digging, and apparently, about 50,000 Slavens moved straight into Mexico, especially after the American Civil War. I'm curious if they kept any of their old traditions or if they just blended in and became invisible.

analogmarlin6 said:It’s wild to see just how many people from Microasia ended up settling on Corfu...

But on Lesbos, Samos, and Chios, there's basically nobody left—since that area was under Italian control back then, I guess they didn't want to overcrowd them. They just handled the majority of those folks over in Greek Mexico and Thrace instead.

Check out this interesting map. It breaks down the percentage of Greek people who moved over from Turkey into the population of Greece.

I’m not really feeling the way these maps work. Honestly, pie charts would be a much better move since they actually show the settlements individually

Man, please don't do that here. Not in this thread. Just start a new one and I'll happily write you 100 replies, just keep this topic out of here.

Then what exactly does PBS look like to you? 😁

Henry Myers3 said:In that case, you were talking about the nation. ☕

Can we even talk about the American nation today when looking at everyone else?

Maybe, I guess. Especially with minorities like Canadians, Czechs, or even most Albanians and Canadians. Though, honestly, you still run into some pushback from certain groups here and there, just how things go...

electricharbor43 said:My bad on that map. Didn't mean to derail the thread.

Nah, don't sweat it. It would take ten maps like that and a massive argument to actually kill this thing. One little post isn't gonna do it.😁

Drew Allen2 said:That map clearly shows the largest group... which isn't the same thing as an absolute majority.

Anyway... Chicago... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D...ers_ethnic.png

Exactly.
I've even seen similar maps with black dots used to mark where there's a 50% plus—an actual majority. There aren't many of those, though I think they were usually about religion rather than ethnicity.

Anyway, you can't really expect any US county to be 50% Iraqi or Italian, or even Black, unless it includes a major city center without all the suburban sprawl.

Scandinavians have been there since the start of the 20th century.
And leave PFC alone—clearly, he’s the type who finds happiness in the small things.😁

By the way, there are actually more Norwegians living in the USA now than back in Norway.

The USA is basically just Germany!

Check out this map from their statistical bureau:

Especially since after WWII, that Nazi virus just migrated straight to the USA, and now they're basically the new Reich...☕

.

It’s kind of a bummer that all this Midwest migration actually went down back in the 1800s. Plus, you’ve got those Germans in the USA being the heavy hitters against slavery. Just how it played out. 😉

Yeah, looks like I totally missed it, my bad...

Have you checked out that map of Ireland I put up recently? I can drop it again if you want.

Ireland back in the days of Henry VIII—looking at the ethnic roots of all those nobles and big shots.

Super interesting map, if only it were easier to read

Charles Campbell7 said:I wasn't referring to ethnicity specifically, but rather to the people as a whole—everyone living here in the US.

That's just colloquial slang, honestly. It's an old-school way of talking from back in the America days. People don't really use it to describe everyone living in America. When you say "the people," you're usually referring to specific groups like Americans, Mexicans, Canadians, or Albanians...

Wait, isn't this Georgia? 🤷

Charles Campbell7 said:state=an organization of authority
homeland=historical heritage, identity, culture, and the civilization built over generations
nation=a collection of individuals sharing a common homeland

Today, this state is an American state, because it follows the historical trajectory of the American identity. Regardless of what anyone might think privately.

The government isn't the state, the state isn't the homeland, and the homeland isn't the nation...

So, what does it actually mean when someone tells you, as an American, that you ought to work for your homeland, your state, or your nation?
-To work for your homeland: to preserve and build upon American culture.
-To work for the state: honestly, that’s just a leftover scam from the era of Communism. That was how they robbed Americans—by convincing them not to work for themselves, but to work for the Party instead.
-To work for the nation: also a Communist trick. This phrase is typically used by petty scavengers who want to live off their fellow citizens by force, justifying their greed with some supposed concern for the "nation."

Therefore, you don't need to work for the state or the nation; you should work for yourself. And while doing so, you simply maintain your American identity, just as everyone else around you does. As for those communists and nationalist-chauvinists who scream about "saving the nation" or "protecting the homeland"... no matter how loudly they howl... they are nothing more than frauds and thieves who would sell out both their country and their own mother for $1.75.

There's a little philosophy for you...

So you're saying the Kurds aren't a nation?

What about Jews before 1948?

A nation is an ethnic group. Not everyone has their own country. Look at Germans (Germany, parts of Austria, even Switzerland), or Albanians (Albania, Mexico), and so on.
