pet project: demographics

scotland
-97.99 white
-1.09 south asian
-0.19 black
-0.25 mixed
-0.32 chinese
-0.19 other

it's pretty surprising to read that scotland is 98 percent white. you would've expected it to be a bit more of an even distribution. but its also interesting to know that indians are the biggest minority group in scotland. they call them south asians in the united kingdom. but south asian is a word that is only for india. so literally one out of every hundred people in scotland is indian.

portugal
-96.87 portuguese
-3.13 legal immigants

portugal doesn't even really list the information very well. like they've only got portuguese and immigrants listed. but i keep kindof seeing a trend that all these european countries are fine. they say how their countries are getting swamped by immigrants. but if you look at the numbers its just not the case. like you see 1 percent to 4 percent of a population being indian. its just a bunch of lies and fanatacism. so that just shows the truth of these situations. the guy that we talked to yesterday seemed like he was surprised that i was bold. the point is his assumption about people like me was they were afraid. maybe he even felt they were supposed to be greatful because they got allowed to come to the country. but the thing is people are born or brought here at very young ages and are practically american. it really doesnt matter what these people think. after one generation you become american. my parents were the generation that immigrated. because i had my childhood in this country i became an adult that was a product of this country. and once youre a product of a country you have as much ownership of it as anyone else.

italy
-93.5 italian
-2.72 romanian/albanian/moroccan

italy doesnt even list indian people. it says 93 percent are italian 2.7 are romanian, albanian and moroccon and then the rest are just everybody else.

cambridge, MA
-68.10 white
-11.92 black
-0.29 native american
-11.88 asian
-0.08 pacific islander
-3.19 other
-4.56 two or more races

-(in addition to being one of the above, 7.36 claim hispanic)

cambridge is only 68 percent white. with it almost being 12 percent asian. but i don't like how they lump chinese and south asians together. we're completely different. people from south asia have nothing to do with chinese people. so it's just kinda offensive for them to try and dumb everyone down and try and say everyone's the same. i think the europeans do it way better. but its interesting to think that america has attracted way more people from that part of the world. mainly because they took the land from native americans. speaking of which there's only 0.29 native americans in cambridge. they're the descendents of the ones that used to rule the entire country. and then the 68 percent of white people they're the descendants of those who killed the native americans. see living here is almost living in acceptance of what was done to the native americans. because the vast majority of people here don't seem sympathetic to native americans. maybe its like a country out of desperation. like maybe they really desperately wanted their own country so they killed everybody to get it. and then by having such high demographic numbers from asians, its interesting because the european countries which have more relations and ties to india have less. so i guess people really did get taken by the american dream. but the whole american dream has been built on like a bloodbath. and the people who enjoy their time here are doing it because of crimes committed. like this whole country as a whole is a criminal nation. it invaded a native population and exterminated them. and anyone who comes to america today does that more or less in indifference to their past. people seem to act like the industrial revolution made all history before that useless. but this is just a disgusting country. like if i was in a position, the same one my father was in, in 1991... knowing what i know today i never would've come over here. it's just a disgusting place. sure you can make money but its basically blood money. every dollar is drenched in the blood of a thousand native americans. every brick is build on the grave of a dead indian. i dont know how america can ever live down this horrible legacy. but its definately clear that something needs to be done. americas been a player in the world because its basically gone from one thing to another. like basically americans have never had a rest. ever since they started coming over here its been one problem after another. and because of it there's alot of deep wounds in america that haven't even begun to be healed. if you ask me i think the whole things gonna self destruct one day. unless they try and like heal some of these deep wounds in america. just like vivek committed suicide with his deep problem. america could go down the same road. suicide of a country is the same thing as civil war. and i wouldn't be surprised if shit like that did happen one day. like if you look at america, they definately do rule the land like a bunch of cowboys. taking way too many risks, killing without respect, like outlaws. taking what they want, and then coming up with schemes to make themselves the richest people in the world. america has steadily had more and more dreamers like that. and that spirit of anything goes fuels that here. but still... there's a dark side to it. all the towns that're lying in ruin because nobody has jobs. because the companies were just not ever protected. these bigass companies that stretched out across the country were basically like cowboy companies. and then they die the death of an outlaw, except... just like in mafia times, the guys a criminal but he's offering you protection, if you don't accept protection he'll kick your ass, and you have to pay him a fee, so you learn to live like that, and then your fucking mafia gets killed off, and you've got nobody there to protect you. that's kinda like what happened in america with the car companies.

somerville MA
-76.97 white
-6.50 black
-0.22 native american
-6.44 asian
-0.06 pacific islander
-4.96 other races
-4.85 two or more races

-of the above, -8.76 hispanic/latino of any race

Canada
-32.2 canadian
-21.0 english
-15.8 french
-15.1 scottish
-13.9 irish
-10.2 german
-4.6 italian
-4.0 south asian
-3.9 chinese
-3.9 ukranian
-3.8 aboriginal
-3.3 dutch
-3.2 polish
-2.5 black

you know what really surprises me? in canada they have almost 4 percent of the population aboriginal. i think that beats america. and its not just asian but thats 4 percent INDIAN so thats way more than america. see if they did it by american standards then it would be chinese and south asian together which would be almost 8 percent which's almost 10 percent. and thats way more than what america has listed. see canada's a smaller country as a whole but because of the diversity on the street youll see different types of people on a regular basis. another thing i like about canada is there's only 2.5 blacks, which means that theyre not gonna dominate the news and everything in canada that isnt white. america has too much of that white black thing going on. its so much that basically asian people dress up as black kids. because they identify with that more since theyre apparently not white. that to me is kindof interesting. but canada does look a little bit more promising. lets say you add up all the south asians, blacks, aboriginals, chinese, and what do you get. i get about 15 percent. so thats still pretty fucking small. i mean... its probably an 85 percent white country. i mean its good they do the demographics in real demographics and not "white". but they definately seem to in a positive way have more ties to europe. in the sense that the people there still tend to hold on to their irish name and stuff. so thats kinda cool. but its not some sort of real equal place or anything. an equal place would be no one group overshadowing the other. i read about a place in new york where that was the case. 20 percent of every race. its in new york. its like a borough or a neighborhood.

New York City
-44.1 white (35.1 non-hispanic)
-25.2 black (23.7 non-hispanic)
-0.4 american-indians (0.2 non-hispanic)
-11.6 asian-americans (11.5 non-hispanic)
-less than 0.1 pacific islander american
-16.8 other races (1.0 non-hispanic)
-1.9 two or more races (1.0 non hispanic)

-27.4 hispanics & latinos

dude. new yorkers, they call native americans, they call them american indians. its fucking rediculous. youve got indian americans and now youve got american indians. why use the name india for these people its insulting to people who are from india. it just seems like a fucking rediculous thing for a city like new york. they just don't deserve the name India. they should call them like indigenous peoples. the europeans have a way better way of describing it.

see in new york they list whether or not people of that race are hispanic. which's interesting because in america they don't go that in depth. i'm guessing hispanic just literally means spanish-speaking and spanish-cultured. but that just shows much of an impact the spanish had on the americas. like mexico and then south america. its like the new world was divided up between spain england and france. france got canada. england got america. and france got south america. what do you think about that? but isnt that crazy how they divided up an entire part of the world with people already on it. they just used their technology to rape half of the world. they brushed aside the locals and brought their own people from across the oceans in. i mean thats absolutely insane. just because you have power does it mean you have to use to bully people around? and these people didnt bully people, they killed people. and they stole whatever they had. and then they brought their families and stuff and they started living in the stuff of these dead people. i mean that is just so brutal. fuckin bloodthirsty bastards is what these guys are. theyre just like modern day vikings with fucking cannons. coming in blasting shit up and then moving in their wife and kids. and at the end of the day its like, did they really gain anything from doing that? i mean i know when you read about britain you read about how really crowded it is. so was their solution back in the day just kill people and take land? we've got too many people so lets take half our people send 'em there and kill everybody and live there. yeah i just don't understand why death had to be involved in this whole process. and to me death is a fucking huge crime. if somebody commits murder in the united states they can get executed themselves. if not jailed for their entire life. but an entire country was basically pardoned for murder. not only were they pardoned for it they were asked to kill people by their government. well they had enough power to win so they felt their award was winning. and apparently it didnt bother them at all to get what they wanted through murder. its through violent crimes that the world has come to the place its at today. and those crimes are still waiting to be punished for. there's no justice for the dead natives. not yet. maybe in the future we'll give 'em you know 1/10th of america. but as it is the descendants of native americans who choose to live in the land that they were born in, they suffer today and nothing is done for them. they've given retardedly small pieces of land there's nothing they can do with it. they're made to feel like foreigners in their own land. like... i kindof understand it because i grew up here, but what if my ancestors grew up here too, for like 10,000 years. that's a fuckin bitter pill to swallow. trying to stand back and just realize that you have no power over this land. i mean i guess you could probably get over that. but like... being treated like youre not even as good as other people. see anytime i have any problems with someone all i need to do is think of native americans to put me in my fucking place. if they can continue to live in this country and try to continue, then i mean fuck it man its not that hard for me to do it. but those are some deep wounds that havent been healed. and im definately interested in living in a way that keeps all wounds healed.
