> uh yeah you're going to have a hard time convincing anyone that a country that is majority white isn't homogeneous because multiple languages are spoken

Well, he convinced me. (Largely because I have lived in countries with communities like that).

[Out of curiosity, does my testimony change your mind?]

[tempsy]

no - because Switzerland's population is 70% Swiss, with the remaining mostly from nearby countries that have similar values and complexions. Just because you grow up learning various languages does not mean your society is heterogeneous.

A society where every learns 4 languages and looks the same is homogenous.

I didn't live within 10 000km of Switzerland.

Stop making silly assumptions to narrow the beautiful diversity of the world so as to fit your polemic.

[tempsy]

I can't believe I'm actually arguing with someone on whether Switzerland is considered a homogeneous society or not but ok.

[pinkfoot]

You aren't: you are trying to defend the silly notion that a group of white people are homogenous even if they have different languages.

You state such a thing (diversity) cannot EVER possibly be true. The OP and I testify otherwise. From lived experience - mine with nothing to do with Switerland (or Canada in case you are guessing).

Consider today then whether the Serbo-Croation war could ever be possible under your model of reality (who would fight who?). Except it was.
