TL;DR: ethnicity is not citizenship
Switzerland has never been homogeneous and the recent immigration to Switzerland is very different from regular immigration elsewhere.
It is an exception in the west, mostly due to low taxation for rich people or political reasons.
for the same reasons in Lichtenstein 33℅ of the population is non-citizen and not surprisingly in Monaco an astonishing 75℅ of the residents are foreign born.
If Italian people go to Switzerland they are counted as immigrants, but the Italian ethnicity is native in Switzerland, same goes for German and French people.
The same thing is not true for Chinese or Korean people in Japan.
Also 1℅ of Japan equals to 15℅ of the Swiss population.
- Cederfjard 6y agoSorry for the irrelevant comment, but I’ve never seen anyone use ℅ instead of % before. If it’s a typo, how did that happen?
- ezequiel-garzon 6y agoI hadn’t even noticed it, first time I see it too. It looks like it’s meant to stand for “care of”: https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/care_of https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/care_of.
- BelenusMordred 6y agoVery likely a mobile typo. Keyboards often expose a lot of different utf-8 chars when you hold it down and you're always a few mm away from releasing on something completely different. Muscle memory and hard to see choices easily makes it a double.
- africanboy 6y agoI did not realise it until you pointed it out I'm using openboard on my mobile and it is probably mapping the wrong UTF-8 character for that symbol.
