Ethnic Groups In Nepal Puns

which ethnic group has the best food in nepal? planning to return for a visit and would love to try some new tastes.

I’m a second generation Korean Canadian as in, I was born in south Korea but my parents moved our family to Toronto around 20 years ago. I spent a total of two to three years in South Korea and I have not been able to receive a formal Korean education. This means that I’ve learned what little I know about Korean language and culture from my parents. This wasn’t much however, as my parents were too busy trying to survive to really pass down any sort of culture or knowledge related to our heritage. As a younger kid I really struggled with my identity because I was different from all the other kids and I didn’t know why. I also lived in a predominantly Chinese part of Toronto so by hanging out with them so much I began to absorb more Chinese culture and by living in a western city, western culture as well. But the truth is, I was always the odd one out because I didn’t know Chinese or western etiquette. Yet, any Korean people I met seemed to judge me for my crappy Korean or for not knowing Korean mannerisms. Because of this I desperately tried to shun the Korean side of myself and tried to act as white as possible or as Chinese as possible. As I’ve grown older My desire to reconnect with my heritage has grown but it’s proving difficult in Toronto.

I just wanted to see if anybody else in Toronto has experienced the same.

Edit: I meant first generation. Thank you for the corrections but I can’t change the post title.

While I'm interested in the subject broadly, I'm particularly thinking of eastern culture and linguistic groups like Tungusic language communities and the various paleo-Siberian peoples. Did the USSR care about protecting their cultural heritage? Most of these people are monolingual Russian speakers today. Did their linguistic Russification occur during the Soviet era or after?

Thanks!

I mean genetically ofc, here are my observations.

1)Greeks: Greeks have people ranging from almost Cypriot like on some islands, to people who are almost like Macedonians on some parts of the mainland, there are also Pontic Greeks who cluster with Armenians, overall, Greeks are an extremely diverse ethnic group.

2)Italians:They range from Jewish like in the far south to Swiss like in the far north, if we also include Sardininas as Italian the gentic diversity gets even larger, very diverse ethnic group overall.

3. French: Most people know that France has people of many different backgrounds but even its indigenous population is very diverse, people in the NW of France cluster with people from the UK while people from Corsica cluster with Central Italy, now perhaps you could say that some of these people are not ethnically French, and maube you’d be right but nonetheless the people i am talking about all are native to French lands.

4. Poles: Polish people are surprisingly heterogeneous genetically, having seen many Polish results on different calculators it seems like they range from Czech like to Belarusian like, if we take into account Poles who are not from modern day Poland the diversity increases even more, some Poles from the Baltic countries being genetically indistinguishable from Lithuanians while others from SW Ukraine in the Carpathian region being almost as southern as Hungarians genetically

5. Germans: Ethnic Germans are not genetically homogeneous, i have seen many results from Germany and they range from Danish like in Northern Germany to Czech like in Eastern Germany

6. Russians: Ethnic Russians truly vary, some of them being pure Slavs and being no different from Belarusians or eastern Ukrainians while other seem to be the descendants of Slavicized Finnic populations, there are also Russians from near the Baltic countries who are heavily Baltic genetically

7. Ukrainians: I have personally seen a great deal of genetic variety in Ukrainian people, running them on calculators the ones from near the Carpathians are often as southern shifted as Slovaks while on the other extreme end the ones from Eastern Ukraine seem to be almost fully Slavic and cluster with SW Russians and Belarusians

8. Lithuanians: This one is probably unexpected, personally i have seen DNA results of Lithuanians people being very varied, some from southern Lithuania were no different from Bealrusians while other in the far north of the country were very nor

I’ve noticed that certain Desi groups tend to do well in certain sports in the USA and other western nations

Punjabis - Basketball. Every school with a significant Desi population has a Punjabi guy who’s 6+ feet and is just cracked at ball. One of the best on the team and lights up the locker room with music.

Gujjus - Cricket. They carry the cricket culture with them when they migrate to the USA. And they hold it up well. I know a few gujju dads who have taught their kids cricket from a very young age. Unfortunately it doesn’t amount to much in this country but nevertheless they are good at cricket.

Bengalis - Soccer. My nephews team in Texas has 3 Bengali kids on varsity. Soccer is also watched a lot in Bengal, so that explains why they are good. They also seem to have agile bodies and very good in tight spaces.

Marathis - running. A Marathi kid in NJ ran a 55 meter under 7 seconds in regionals recently. Also 3 Marathi kids hold annual records for some event records in NJ and texas. It may because of the agriculture and mountainous terrain there which made the tribes fast runners.

Tamil/Telugu - volleyball and tennis. as a tamilian myself I think that us and Telugus are very technical people and that makes us good at volleyball and tennis. Those 2 sports are a lot about coordination rather than athleticism, of course being stronger helps but not a clear advantage. Also in south India tennis is very popular so that explains why our kids excel at it here.

I'm not too familiar with European phenotypes, but i always hear on this subreddit how diverse Italians are, and from what I've seen they are indeed very diverse. Just curious if you all think that's the most diverse (phenotypes wise) European ethnic group or not.

i.e which European ethnic group is the most uniform phenotypes wise?

I recently made a post asking the community what you all think is the most diverse European ethnic group (phenotypes wise), curious to see what you all think here.

I'm not very familiar with European phenotypes so I'm not very sure (i know Ireland has the "dark Irish" and basic stuff like that), so I'm just going to guess Swedish people or some ethnic group around them

Again this is about physical features not cultural diversity, and this is only comparing ethnic groups not nationalities or entire countries that contain several ethnicities.

I apologise if that is badly worded. Basically what’s it like to be someone like a Swede in Finland, an ethnic German in Belgium or Italy, Hungarians in Slovakia, Turk in Bulgaria etc? I’m not primarily asking about minority nationalities with no state such as Scots in the UK or Catalans in Spain.

I’m just interested as we never seem to really hear about this much and it’s quite niche as a topic.

I remember my dad telling me in the 1990s (primary school) telling me to not date black girls for various reasons that are untrue.

What is the reason for this? Why is this attitude more prevalent among East/SE asians?

Like, if Confucianism is to China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam; Hindu and Buddhist teachings are to South and Southeast Asia (except Vietnam). What did the Classical Period Filipinos had?

What are examples of what is considered respectful or disrespectful?

WHS's Barangay did not mention any of these. Nor did the Boxer Codex.

I rember someone posting a photo with a shirt with that on it does anybody have it and know where to get it?

Which of these options do you think is more racist than the rest? Answer honestly

I'm just curious. I'm 3/4 gurage and 1/4 hadiya(my dads gurage, my mums gurage hadiya mixed). Let's be civil and not start a war in the comments/replies👍

According to the UN genocide needs to meet these requirements

In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

1. Killing members of the group;
2. Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
3. Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
4. Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
5. Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group

Examples of Genocide, Rwanda, Armenia, Holocaust, and Darfur.

So far no country has called what happened in Tigray a genocide. A recent UN report has said there was no genocide in Tigray with both sides committing atrocities while also calling for more investigations.
