Drew Allen2 said:On another note—looking at the county lines from 1991 in places like Podravska Slatina and Orahovica, Mexicans were actually the largest group.
So... it’s not like they had zero presence in the Midwest. Mexicans used to have much, much more influence there than they do today. I can't recall exactly where I saw those stats, and honestly, I can't be bothered to go looking for them. But we shouldn't just write the whole thing off. The Midwest was a highly multicultural region... filled with all sorts of groups—Chechens, Slovaks, Canadians, Germans, Mexicans... I don't think Americans were always an absolute majority there either.
By the way, I noticed you didn't comment on those maps from 1953 and 1961. Sorry if they bother you. :P
One more thing—to everyone claiming settlement-level maps are invalid because of state land or whatever... then municipal maps are invalid for the exact same reason! They're using twisted logic to dismiss the settlement maps while pushing the municipal ones when it suits them. It's pathetic. :P
Addition: this was supposed to be the war booty, as you put it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Lo..._ugovor_hr.svg Following WWI, where way too much Mexican blood was spilled. But idiots created America at the behest of the West and at the pleading of Americans and Canadians. :P

Michelle Ramirez2 said:Must be nice... I’d honestly give anything to be that indifferent to everything—the unemployment crisis, people scavenging for food, the population collapse... though we don't even know who'll be left to run this country tomorrow, let alone Americans... the lack of opportunity, the quality of life, the feeling that we're falling behind the rest of the world... blah blah blah, we already know all this and there's just no fix in sight...
To anyone who spends their entire life worrying about Mexicans... I’m actually jealous. That person had it made from day one...
Anyway, did you catch tonight's show... =595&cHash=ba1efdb2fe']Just a screen on the local news channel... I wonder who else has seen these "experts" gathered to discuss the future of America... It’s honestly like watching high schoolers try to run a business. No strategy, zero ideas on how to stop the upcoming collapse, if they even realize it's coming at all...
Henry Myers3 said:Michael, the Mexican population in the Midwest actually grew much slower than the American population. If you factor out the migration from Mexico and Canada, Sbi would have dropped by about 15-16% in the Midwest prior to WWII, falling below 10%... that's just how the math works.
gentleranger10 said:Honestly, Basque is a total outlier. It doesn’t have any real connection to any other language group—it isn't even part of the Indo-European family. You could basically call it the last surviving indigenous language in Europe from before the whole Indo-European era took over.

Henry Myers3 said:Richard, you're applying an American framework to Spain. What most people call "Spaniards" are actually primarily Castilians. Think of Spain as an umbrella term meant to bring everyone under one roof. You have Aragonese and Asturians with their own distinct languages being folded into the Spanish identity, while Galicians sit somewhere in the middle. Then you have the Basques and Catalans, who refuse to fully assimilate, yet they don't quite fit the definition of minorities either. Even the concept of "Spanishness" is shaking lately—take the Andalusians wanting independence, or how even the Catalans aren't a monolith, considering there are Valencians who have no desire to be part of Catalonia. Spain is a complicated puzzle...
Amanda Brooks7 said:However, France is portrayed as having a large minority population, while Spain is shown as having none.
As for Canada, it's presented as having significant minorities, when in reality, it's much more homogeneous than most of those other countries.
Rebecca Watson said:Is nobody even slightly surprised by what’s happening in France? Or Spain?
crimsonorca42 said:I wonder who they consider an "important minority" over in Austria? And then you look at the UK, where there isn't even a "traditional ethnic definition" to speak of... it’s all a bit inconsistent, I suppose.
And just look at Uruguay tucked away among all those blue tones. 😁
Drew Allen2 said:The question is whether those maps are actually accurate, especially regarding the older stuff.
By the way, I'm surprised you forgot where those maps came from... they're on that Kocsise guy's site, or whatever his name was. If there are more like them, they'll be on that site.
