How is Poland a shithole? Did a person who wrote this crap have seen this country at all? We had literally one of the biggest economic growths in Europe during 90’s/20’s.
Anon can’t have a factual argument

Sorry man, but the hutlerite shit takes I see online in Poland is disproportionately bigger than any other country, even the 🅱️altiks
Wanderer@lemm.ee 1 year ago
People think Poland is Poland in 1991
Poland one of the better countries in Europe. It also seems to be trending in a better direction that all the other countries.

I am from a country that has tended to view poland in a less than flattering way. And yes, the past tense is intentional. I had the pleasure of spending a large part of 2008 in the Gdansk and Gdynia area, and I absolutely loved it. Beautiful place and friendly people.
I remember a coworker saying something along the lines of “I now understand why we have the stereotype about poor quality craftsmen coming over to us - because the best ones never left home” while we were walking through the town.

Man, I’ve been arguing that point for decades.
Also, I want to fuck that animal as well.

Maybe it’s sufficient to ask our moms to actually turn off the internet, like they threatened to do so many times in the past.

WTF is wrong with Lithuania?
clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Lithuania has The ROOP, I won’t hear any slander against y’all!
AMDIsOurLord@lemmy.ml 1 year ago
“white”? Define white. Most European countries consist of multiple different ethnicities
Even middle eastern countries are incredibly diverse (Iran for example is home to like 5+ different people)
Dave@lemmy.nz 1 year ago
Wait, there are ethnicities other than “white” and “not white”?
Rediphile@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
There are as many or as few races as we decide to make up at any given time. There is no scientific basis for drawing an objective line between racial groups. And ‘mixed race’ people like me just fuck it up more and more as time goes on.
Rediphile@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
I feel like there are at least 12 people in Iran… Maybe even 13

I don’t know much about Lithuania, but they’re one of the few countries that officially recognize Taiwan.

TheMightyCanuck@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Majority white, with a chunk of Hispanic and a small dash of Asian and African…
Is the US really the “most diverse”? Seems like Canada has a better mix or even somewhere in Europe?
palebluethought@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Not sure where you’d get that idea…
Black population is not that far off from Hispanic (18 vs 12%) and white is barely a majority.
Canada is much more dominantly white (70% vs 56%) with lower representation of every other group compared to US. Everywhere in Europe is much higher than that (80+%).
Of course all this is based on coarse Western racial categories, if you look at individual ethnicities then it’s gotta be India or somewhere in Africa.
Blackmist@feddit.uk 1 year ago
Papua New Guinea is apparently the most diverse. Thousands of ethnicities, most of which are less that 1% of the population.
Klear@lemmy.world 1 year ago
You’ll find the most diverse countries in Africa. IIRC USA falls somewhere on two thirds towards more diverse.
reattach@lemmy.world 1 year ago
US is 57.8% white (2020): …wikipedia.org/…/Demographics_of_the_United_State…

theFibonacciEffect@feddit.de 1 year ago
I agree, but I also think this is cherry picked. There are countries that are quite monoethnical that are doing quite well eg. Switzerland and Japan. Also I don’t think USA is such a great place to live, even if it where the “worlds #1 superpower, whatever that means”. Great military doesn’t make a country nice to live in. Switzerland and France are much better in my opinion.
Gladaed@feddit.de 1 year ago
Calling switzrland monoethnical is a crime against humanity. Also they don’t do so well in some rewards.
Itte@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago

Wanderer@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Let’s play.
Russia isn’t all white.
America is largely white. Also all the wealth and power comes from the white people. America peaked in the 60’s relative to the rest of the world.
European countries peaked in the late 90’s to the 00’s.
Poland’s great. Only ever heard good things about Lithuania. Don’t know squat about Moldova.
Argentina is mostly non white at least non western white.
Crappy communism trumps anything else. Poland and Lithuania (and eastern Germany) under communism was shit, nearby countries (like Western Germany) were great. America really benefitted from WW2 and oil
OldWoodFrame@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Get a water stone and we’ll talk.
Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Argentina? The South American country that had a small influx of Germans after WW2 is 100% white?
Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
Hispanic people can be white skinned. They’re aren’t all dark.
Sludgeyy@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Can confirm
“How’d you get your last name?” Is almost always brought up when I say it.
I’m a second generation Mexican/Finnish mix with a strong southern accent.
Having to mark my skin color down on the paper and then having to mark Hispanic in another place is common place.
Funny how Scandinavian is never an option. I’m as much Scandinavian as Hispanic.
Racism is weird.

TranscendentalEmpire@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Idk, both of those studies leave a lot to be desired. The first methodology is based on language, which ignores the history of conflict and forms of imperialism that used language as a tool of imperial expansion.
The second study doesn’t count any culture that doesn’t make up more than 1% of the total population. Which means countries like Papua New Guinea, one of the most ethnic diverse countries in the world, doesn’t even register as they don’t have a dominant ethnic group.

That the US is not also a shithole…

Technically they didn’t say not a shithole, they just said that it was the world’s leading superpower.

Russia is not a 100% white country. The country spans two continents. Plenty of Asian Russians in the country.
raktheundead@fedia.io 1 year ago
Lithuania is considered, along with Latvia and Estonia, to be a developed country now. It really took a step forward after being freed from the chains of Russian subjugation.
