That's because the Han and the Mongols killed everyone.

That is overly harsh... it's more a case of telling people that they are Han Chinese.

:huh: Han shot first.

Yes I've used this joke once before. Sue me.

QuoteThe Kashubians and Silesians disagree.  :cry:
And the Germans. Always the Germans. Give back the German land! or...something.

They all make up for less than 2-3% of the total populace, so as I said, Poland is homogenous, you idiot.

You may address him as "Sir Brain."  Still won't get any service, though.

So will substitutional service of the Statement of Claim via this forum be sufficient?  Or will you merely attorn to the jurisdiction?

There are actually 55 recognized ethnic minorities in China who all get certain special privileges not accorded to the Han (one child policy exemption, affirmative action for university, etc).  They make up around 8 - 10 % of the population IIRC.  Which isn't to say that acculturation hasn't occurred in the past, of course - though even then, it can only be effective if the target group is at some level willing to accept the new cultural identity.

In the past, the Chinese government created a new ethnic identity - the so-called "Zhonghua" ethnicity - which is supposed to encompass all ethnicities in China (Han + minorities).  I think it's enjoyed limited success, however.

It COULD have a little something to do with their respective ethnic minorities. IDK.
Slovakia's so small how many ethnic minorities can they have?
Are you even aware that the Great War happened?
Yes :smarty:

Then the fact that an eastern European country is ethnically divided should come as no surprise to you.

Should is the operative word there.  Remember that you're dealing with a man, when he realizes that he actually knows how to tie his own shoes, is surprised.

Look who you're talking to - he probably thinks the Great War was the Zentraedi invasion. :rolleyes:
