- commiepatrol 2y agoRussia is homogenous? Interesting.
- eszed 2y agoChina is homogeneous?
- dralley 2y ago... What? That is completely nonsense. Absolutely ludicrous. Neither Russia nor China are homogenous. Both have large Muslim minorities (and both are be pretty racist against them). Eastern Russians are not European descended and are looked down on by Western Russians. Tibetans are not Han Chinese. Even the Asian nations that actually are pretty "homogenous" like Japan and Korea are also famously pretty racist.
- kelipso 2y agoThere are also a ton of other ethnic groups in China and the government just call them all Han Chinese. Tons of ethnic groups in Russia too. These are countries with very long histories that span a large area, with many areas that were multiple kingdoms, tribes, etc. Makes perfect sense that they would have a lot of different ethnic groups.

- rsynnott 2y ago... Homogenous in _what way_?! They're both the remnants of large land empires, each incorporating many ethnicities, languages, religions... They are not at all homogenous. Like, that whole thing with the Uyghurs, what did you think that was about? Or Chechnya?
