There are no countries that are "heavily one demographic"


What?? It is common for certain areas to be mostly populated by a certain demographic. Iceland: 93% ethnic Icelandic. Bolivia 88% Mestizo/Indigenous. Thailand 93% Buddhist. India 80% Hindu. Japan 98% ethnic Japanese. Nigeria 100% fast. Dive in to specific geographic areas within a country and it is often fully homogenous.

Oh yeah, everyone in those countries are the same ethnicity, gender, the same relationship and family status, the same interests and personality type etc etc?

Literally no diversity proponents are saying tech teams in Taiwan must have 20% African Americans or whatever and you'd have to be completely missing the point, or willfully missing it, to think so. In any case, it's pretty telling of your level of understanding of the topic that you seem to think that's what we're saying.

Likewise using friggin India and Nigeria as examples of "fully homogenous" countries is also very telling of your knowledge about other countries from your own. Just wow.


Hi please reread. It was a reply to the comment about an all young white nerdy men team being bad because they are all white and male, saying "But they make horrible teams". Second, I used statistics, not opinion. You straw man with this "everyone in those countries are" followed by describing how no 2 people occupy the same space-time. Please read what a person writes and listen to what a person says rather than warping it to your need. Just wowy :D
