Seems legit. Now for an actual map, here is an interactive racial distribution of Brazil, based on a previous American one.  The data is taken from the census self-identification race parameters, blue is whites, green is "browns" (mixed race), red is blacks, yellow is asians (literally "yellows", very classy of the census bureau) and brown is indigenous peoples. I really recommend you click the link because the image is kinda off-colour because of compression. There's also the button on the upper left corner which lets you see population density. bagual fucked around with this message at 20:47 on Dec 14, 2015 |

Back in 2010-11 I followed one year of Russian in evening school so I can't remotely claim to speak it, but I can still read Cyrillic and seeing Mongolian always throws me for a loop. It's kind of like that one Native American language that uses Latin script but the characters have absolutely no relation to the sounds they usually represent in other languages that use Latin script (IIRC the guy who came up with the character mapping couldn't read himself).

Haven't a bunch of them switched to the Latin alphabet since the fall of the Soviet Union? Switching to the Gregorian calendar and/or the Latin alphabet has been all the rage this past century.

Switching to the Gregorian calendar and/or the Latin alphabet has been all the rage this past century. Azerbaijani, Moldovan (Romanian), Uzbek and Turkmen. Moldovan/Romanian looks to be the most successful transition of the lot (the others have been slow in fully converting). The Crimean Tatars switched from Cyrillic to Latin after the fall of the Soviet Union, and are back using Cyrillic now that they're under Russian rule.

Nah, South Korea has it a lot more than the rest of non-Muslim Asia, and Catholic Latin America shouldn't outweigh the USA. What could North Korea possibly have in common with the other dark countries? Hmmm. Soldiers or police per capita? Violent deaths?

Samuel Clemens posted:Violent deaths for a specific subgroup? Women, perhaps? Bingo. Actually specifically "violence against women," although like I said I'm dubious as to how accurate it is, not an easy thing to measure unless you're going all the way up to death.
