Aren't a region's minorities a product of its composition? White people are minorities in Asian countries.
- senthil_rajasek 7y agoFalse equivalency.
- marktani 7y agoWhat do you mean by that?
- senthil_rajasek 7y agoWhite people in an Asian country is not the same as an Asian in a "White" country. White people used to be colonial masters in most Asian countries and the reverse is not true.

- danijelb 7y agoIt is not an Asian country, but it is a country where both the majority (Lithuanians) and minorities (mostly people from other European countries) visually look the same. You can distinguish them by languages they speak, which is something we cannot infer from photos on the website. For example, I am a Croatian expat in Czech Republic. The only way Czechs figure out I'm not one of them is when they try to talk to me in Czech. Tell me how to represent that in a photo. I would also be a minority in US, but no one would consider me as one only because I'm white. And that's called being racist.
