Pakistan should support your Hollywood and go to the world stage. The diversity in ethnics and cultures is the fortune for good movies, musics and drama.
I cant tell if you are being sarcastic or not...
If not...
- Why should Pakistan support Hollywood? Or do you mean our Hollywood? We got Lollywood (L for Lahore)
- We have been on and off world stage - preforming folk and pop music (less to do with facial features and more to do with talent)
- Yes ethnics and culture is good for movies and drama we got few musicians from different backgrounds...
While posting pics why you choose Indian punjabi women instead of pakistani Punjabi. Pakistani women don't dress like that.
I was choosing facial features over dress...
That's a very strange accusation, first, very few minority groups pray, and the numbers of Han Christians and Buddists are hundreds of millions, they are not ethnic minorities. Second, China has countless churches, Buddist templse and mosque sin every city, town and even village where we see people pray all the time, why do you say they can't pray, should I believe my own eyes or you say so?
You claimed they cant pray in public places even institution! When I was in Europe, I had told them I prayed 5x a day, my institute told me I am free to use
any free classroom/ seminar room to pray.
When the West accuse you of oppression, this is the difference they base it on!
I can post more pictures showing China's diversity than you do, but that's not my point, my point is China has over 100 million minorities, the reason why China is usually being consider as a homogeneous nation is because over 90% of her population is Han, that's also true. But those who really traveled in China are still amazed by China's diversity, if you go to Tibet, Xinjiang, some part of inner Mongolia..., each of those regions is bigger in size than Pakistan and you sense that you are not traveling in China.
China is homogeneous, yes, China has great diversity, yes.
I think to answer this ...you can read another member's post!
Actually, the people that you call as Han is not a single ethnicity. They're more diverse than you think. But they're culturally similar; because they have been sinicized for a very long time, since the old dynasties of China. And Hui Muslim is actually not a single ethnicity, either. There are some Han in them, also. They're Hui because they're Muslim. Hui = Islam, that's why they call Islam as Hui Ciao (Hui religion).
In Han, there are Hakka, Min Nan, Canton, etc.
That is interesting ...I know few Hakka and Fochow/ Fuzhou (I though it was just a language language also Hokkian)
You see when over 90% is 1 group (irrespective of how diverse you think that group is...it is still over 90%)
The groups I showed you of Pakistanis:
Punjabi - these can be ethnically Punjabi or another Ethnic group staying in Punjab for a few generations and therefore even the group Punjabi is diverse! And within each ethnic group of Pakistan we also have cross marriages...So you can easily find a Punjabi Kashmiri or something...some groups are like naturally mixed like Sindhi Baloch and so on...
So EACH group is diverse between OTHER groups and WITHIN the group itself! THIS is not the case when you have 90% of 1 group being diverse within yet being 1 group representing 90% is showing more homogeneity than anything! Its like 10% away from being clones!
Han people from north east China are much taller and fairskinned while from the far south are shorter . darker and look somewhat south eastern Asian.
Can you give examples with pictures of some of these "diverse" people?
I started this thread with no intention to demean Pakistan, I didn't even know they were Pakistanis, Pakistani Mod and posters don't have to be that hostile and accuse China in every thread no matter if they are related or not.
This isnt accusing but pointing out something you agreed to and admitted after months of people pointing out the EXACT same thing!
As for demeaning any country...China isnt demeaned if that is how you people behave and consider a norm! I mean the West has been screaming about basic human right abuse but it is not like China has bothered to give its approach a second look! We have a saying "sharam usko atti hai jisko sharam ka pata ho" -only he / she who knows what is shame can be ashamed!
Love and hate go both ways, you hate someone and you don't expect that someone will love you either. But as I mentioned, some people want to turn my every thread into a China bashing and accusation ones, that's pathetic. we don't come here to attack other countries, we are here promote our respective nations.
Why do you feel "bashed" for pointing out the "normal" in China? So you do know it is wrong then? Coz if it was "normal" and "ok" you would feel proud someone is pointing out what you country is doing!
Talk to me after you take that trip to Xinjiang. Looking forward to your posts from there. Do make sure you record the azan and people praying
I dont expect them to have adhaan...even West has no Adhaan! So that is irrelevant!
