There are a hell of a lot of different varieties here, so at someone's house its always pop/soda/whatever because you can't tell what they have. Here is a map of the different varieties (although non carbonated drinks are also included)  https://www.msu.edu/~howardp/softdrinkszoomit.html

Here is a map of the different varieties (although non carbonated drinks are also included) Eh, there's a load of varieties here too, not the same ones, but every supermarket has an aisle for fizzy drinks (which is the term I'd use if I was saying "I don't let my kids drink soda/pop/coke") an aisle for non-carbonated non-caffeinated soft drinks and an aisle for tea and coffee, but here if you were asking for something at someone else's house you'd ask for "something to drink", and offer exactly the same if you're hosting (or offer "a cup of tea" first, then "something to drink"). As a guest, if my host doesn't have a fizzy drink I like I'd likely prefer tea or water over a fizzy drink I don't like, and as a host I wouldn't offer only fizzy drinks to my guests, in case they want a non-fizzy drink, like water, tea, orange juice or alcohol.   The scale's a little small here but the map shows how isolated some areas of the planet still are and how closely connected the rest of it is.

I've heard plenty of anti-Islamists here in the Netherlands pull out the "Turks and Maroccans aren't a different race, so we're not being racist" card. Because discriminating against fellow white people because of their religion is ofcourse perfectly acceptable.

The culture is very Confucian here but it's not followed as a religion. Christianity is by far the dominant religion in everyday life, I've never been chased around by evangelicals like I have here. And I'm from the loving Midwest.

Civilized countries don't use racial classifications at all  Related (map showing countries where the ethnicity or race of people was enumerated at least in one census since 1991.):  Obviously "not enumerating ethnicity or race in a census" is not the same thing as "not using racial classifications". 3D Megadoodoo fucked around with this message at 11:38 on Feb 18, 2013 |

Not sure how it works abroad but yes, North Africans, Arabs, people from the Middle East are all white according to the US Census. http://www.ohr.gatech.edu/race%20definitions That's from Georgia Tech but if you apply to jobs in the US, they'll have an optional demographic section at the end and they come with these same federal definitions for people to use.

That map has a really weird policy on labeling a region as having a tribal minority; the Philippines according to Wikipedia, 90% of the population is Christian, the vast majority of which are Catholic, with a southern region that is majority Sunni, and yet on that map it has Tribal and Christian for all of the Philippines. Same thing in Africa where you have nations like the Democratic Republic of Congo which reports a 95% Christian population, a <1% Animist population, a Muslim population of about 1.5% and yet on that map it says it's a mix of all three.

That really is a terrible map. Just to add a little more to the list of mistakes, Lesotho is 90% Christian and has 300 to 2000 Muslims. 2000 people would be 0.05% of the population. And yet it's labeled as "Tribal, Christian and Muslim" (loving the ordering of these, by the way). I have no doubt this is the case for most of the purple areas in Africa. Meanwhile, Egypt and Syria both have Christian minorities of about 10%, both of which have been there forever, and both of which aren't on the map at all. Heck, Lebanon is about 40% Christian and still a solid green. As has been pointed out, if you take one look at Bangladesh, you know all there is to know about this map (it's poo poo). edit: come to think of it, I think the reason Lesotho jumped out at me is that, with it being surrounded by a uniform sea of Protestantism, it sort of seems like it's saying "here be Africans (and you know what that means)".

Let's try that again with a different map: e: At least concerning Africa, that map is still nonsensical, though. For example: The Central African Republic is 90% Christian and still labelled mainly as "Tribal" (whatever that means) for some reason. I think it's like GreenCard78 said: they incorporate indigenous rituals and ideas in their Christianity/Islam there, they must be secretly pagan! Totally not Catholic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSwzTaizDWc e2: Possibly the only state that could rightfully be labelled "majority animist" is the South Sudan. The last comprehensive census there was in 1956, though. System Metternich fucked around with this message at 17:47 on Feb 18, 2013 |
