Very weird results. 25% of people in Latvia are Russians, but only 13% are a minority? How can that be possible?
What kind of minorities there are in Poland?
Interesting data

Where do the numbers from Austria and Hungary come from?
Whats interesting is in Germany the number almost exactly lines up with the % of the population who are of non european descent, and in Finland it is somewhat close to the non finnish ethnicities
What’s wrong with Spain? The immigrant population is higher than that,… and probably some 30% of the indigenous population could consider ourselves minorities given the historical and present treatment. Not even counting Cale or religious minorities.
What does it mean “Being Roma”?
Ahh, I am a disabled (lightly, but still), gay person that was raised lutheran, but now is atheist in Poland. Honestly probably the only minority I am not in is an ethinc one.
Czechia refused to acknowledge its minorities. As is tradition.
What are the stats per country?
20% in austria ??
Greece is very interesting.
Im one of the 10% in Italy then.
LGBTQ is much lower than expected. The number is 5.6% in the US. (which is also lower than Kinsey’s estimation of 10% but his methods were generally discredited)
I suppose that it is because there are more from some countries (like Poland and Romania) that are closeted?
I have an additional question: do you think people on the Autism Spectrum should be considered a minority of the “disability” or “any other minority group”?
I don’t see a direct conection here between identifying oneself as part of a minority and being discriminated against.
You can be part of a minority group religiously, ethnicaly, racialy, sexualy, by ability etc. and still consider yourself an equal member of society.

It’s a study about discrimination. If you don’t find yourself specially singled out then you wouldn’t say that you consider yourself to be part of a minority group. This is all what “the left” wants that I identify as. That we live in a society without discrimination, i.e. that minorities don’t feel like minorities but part of the culture of the majority.
Thank you, the study shows really surprising results. Why is the percentage in the Britain so high? I considered Britain to be very homogeneous (except the obvious divide between Britain/Scotland/North Ireland).
