But they only focus on ethnic diversity, and not on genetic diversity. So the list is BS. We could better look at Wikipedia and the demographic statistics.

Good news , the fact that this country is intact is an achievement in itself.

Shame on those taking potshots at China

Ethnic diversity is BS ? Why ?

Ethnic diversity is BS ? Why ?

In that research for example is stated that Iran has a bare majority of Persians, and than a great minority of Azeris, and 7 other ethnical groups. They overlook the fact that of those 7 other ethnical groups, most of them belong to the Iranian people, like the Kurds, Lurs, Bakhtiari, Gilani, Mazandarani, etc.

I know what you did there but sadly for people like you, our past 65 years are enough to foresee atleasr the next 65 years future unity of this great country. As for some others, within 25 years of independence, they are broken apart.

Diversity's good, imagine seeing yourself over and over everywhere all your life like a mirror image - like in China for e.g.

that's not the case in China,here are some images about Xinjiang,biggest province of China,one sixth of China's landmass.check it out and you will find how ignorant your comment is

China's mid Asia,Xinjiang region - SkyscraperCity

 

[eddieInUK]

Is India a unified country in history ? Most times who is the ruler ? Muslim or Hindi ? The current PM is a hindi. How it is unified in history ?

 

[haidian]

not 56 races. just one race: Mongoloid. 56 ethnicities in it.
also, regarding ur last post, india has a majority race: Australoid (60% of gene pool). the difference is that in this case, the majority race is considered "inferior" and was mistreated for millennia until democracy saved them due to numbers

you know nothing about China,so dont make those ignorant comment,you call those Chinese people Mongoloid??

^^^ These are ethnic minorities from the far Northwest. They don't represent the majority of Chinese people in ethnic terms.
