Well, he convinced me. (Largely because I have lived in countries with communities like that).
[Out of curiosity, does my testimony change your mind?]
- tempsy 6y agono - because Switzerland's population is 70% Swiss, with the remaining mostly from nearby countries that have similar values and complexions. Just because you grow up learning various languages does not mean your society is heterogeneous. A society where every learns 4 languages and looks the same is homogenous.
- pinkfoot 6y agoI didn't live within 10 000km of Switzerland. Stop making silly assumptions to narrow the beautiful diversity of the world so as to fit your polemic.
- tempsy 6y agoI can't believe I'm actually arguing with someone on whether Switzerland is considered a homogeneous society or not but ok.
- pinkfoot 6y agoYou aren't: you are trying to defend the silly notion that a group of white people are homogenous even if they have different languages. You state such a thing (diversity) cannot EVER possibly be true. The OP and I testify otherwise. From lived experience - mine with nothing to do with Switerland (or Canada in case you are guessing). Consider today then whether the Serbo-Croation war could ever be possible under your model of reality (who would fight who?). Except it was.
