Talk:Multiethnic society

message: Croatia is listed under "..that no longer exist". However Croatia oh-very-much still exist, it just stopped being a multiethnic society (and became a monoethnic). So...? --PaxEquilibrium 00:05, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Looking quickly at this page and the comments above, I'm tempted to suggest that the article could use a thorough revision or rewrite. "Multiethnic" is not well defined, "multiethnic society" could describe as others have mentioned, just about every society to one degree or another. There are assumptions built in to some discussions such as the role of language, violence in the encounter of different ethnicities, etc. A rewrite would have to better account for the realities and shed some of the assumptions (i.e., more of an NPV). It also could discuss a wider range of "multiethnic societies" such as many long existing ones in Africa and Asia. This is a quick evaluation only - maybe there should be an "expert attention" banner on the article page. --A12n 13:17, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Current multi-ethnic societies 

message: I put a "neutrality disputed" tag after "The ultimate step in multiethnic integration is the U.N., whose goal is to ensure the peaceful coexistence of as many different countries or ethnic groups as possible".  Both claims (that the U.N. is the ultimate step and that its true goal is as stated) are very much debatable.

thread_title: Current multi-ethnic societies

message: Poland seems to stick out among the examples. I feel that some explanation should be given for why it is included. There's been a lot of back-and-forth mud slinging between Russia and Poland recently, and I'm worried that the mention of Poland as a "monoethnic" society is yet one more sling in this controversy. Is there any reason to say that Poland is more "monoethnic" or less "multiethnic" than the other eastern block states? Why is it specifically given as an example? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.118.84.141 (talk) 03:18, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

message: Given the above complaints, and the fact that the article had remained completely unsourced since it was established in August 2003, I've taken the liberty of returning it to a stub article with some basic, referenced, material. Please feel free to help expand it further, using sources as necessary. Cordless Larry (talk) 08:18, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
