“I wonder if Hungarians are included as Austrians and if Ukrainians are included as Russians due to their inclusion in their respective European empires.

I was surprised to not see any Ukrainians specifically due to the very sizeable minority we have in Canada, especially in the prairie provinces, however they may have migrated later in the century. (Perhaps during Stalin’s regime?)“–ElectroMagnetsYo

“British Americans, namely those of English descent but also Scottish and Scots-Irish Americans, are severely under reported in these surveys. Those ethnic Americans in the Southeast are mostly the descendants of old Anglo and Scots-Irish settlers from the colonial era and I’d wager half those “Germans” and “Irish” Americans have substantial Anglo heritage”–Disillusioned_Brit

–“The “Canadian” ethnic identity was added to the census in 1996. Contrary to the oft-repeated myth that it synonymous to being French, many non-French Canadians also choose to list “Canadian” as their ethnicity. It should also be noted that it’s quite rare to only put down Canadian on the form (multiple can be selected)“–abu_doubleu

“Not log ago we would have seen Ukrainian and French in a couple parts of Alberta. But there has been a MASSIVE inflow of Mexican and Belize Mennonites to Alberta.

They had great grandparents who briefly passed through Canada generations ago, and have since found a loophole in Canadian citizenship and sponsorship laws. They have been moving to rural Alberta in the tens and tens of thousands over the past 15 years, buying vast swaths of farms, and drastically changing the rural demographics of Alberta”–Norcan987

“Why is that chunk of coast uninhabited?”–untipoquenojuega

“Still 59% Romanians compared to top 30% hungarians. And this is a hungarian census that were usually counting gypsies and jews as hungarians. The censuses were usually language based and not ethnic based. Meaning that even if you were a Romanian that knew a bit of hungarian, they’d register you as hungarian”–vladgrinch

“Hungary was always like multi ethnic since the kingdoms foundation, however the Mongol and then Ottoman wars heavily decimated the central areas of the kingdom primarily inhabited by Hungarians (as Slavs and Vlachs due to their pastoral lifestyle and being less urbanized in general lived in mainly hill, mountainous regions). After both times there were large resettlement partially from other countries at invitation of kings and just spontenous migration as well”–k_csk

“I keep thinking if Australia is as habitable as the Europe, what or how many civilisation could have been established, how many wars could have been fought and how many legendary stories could have been told through generations. After all it’s even bigger than western Europe in size”–rwang8721

“When the missionary died last year from visting the Sentinelese it was something that could have been prevented had he listened to common sense. Those people have made it clear as a community that they wish to be left alone and the Christian thing is to respect those wishes”–CaptainObvious110

“wonder if Europeans made all these ethnic lands independent countries (instead of lumping them into artificial multiethnic “republics”), would it help avoid all that chaos and bloodshed? I mean, there’d still be rivalries, but an attack of one independent nation on another (whatever small) is usually frowned upon, while nobody really cares about civil wars inside one country”–Wandrownik
