Talk:Monoethnicity

List based on lousy ethnicity concept and dubious datas

I can't understand the purpose of this article as the criteria for ethnicity vary among countries, and such datas are not even a census entry in most of them. Even compared with country articles the list is not valid, e.g. for Thailand (ethnic 'minorities' are between 20% and 65% of its population accordibg to various contradictory sources quoted in Thailand-related articles on this en.Wikipedia !). There is a misleading confusion between nationality/citizenship and ethnicity e.g. for Algeria (sizable ethnolinguistic Berber minorities), Jordan (Palestinians are Jordanian citizens with a distinct ethnicity), Lebanon (every ethnoreligious group has its own ethnicity), Morocco (same as Algeria). The whole article should be reviewed and its pertinence assessed. Minorities observer (talk) 17:55, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

The whole article is nonsense and the provided sources are old, baseless, unsourced and inaccurate themselves for a good part. 96.21.71.121 (talk) 22:11, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

 Palestinians and Jordanians are all arabs 90.160.203.44 (talk) 09:50, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

Just as Han and Min are both Chinese or Sino peoples, the world is more nuanced. Kalebtbacon (talk) 23:40, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

Morroco 99%?

Morroco has ethnic Berbers and Arabs, also mixed population of both. There's no "morrocan" monoethnic group 90.160.203.44 (talk) 09:49, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

Statistics are incorrect

This article seems to think that nationality and ethnicity as the same thing, which is not the case. – Treetoes023 (talk) 04:05, 9 August 2023 (UTC)

Artsakh

Will it still be included here on 1 January, 2024 onwards? When the child has been good (talk) 18:39, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

Shouldn’t Spain be on this list?

Spain is 88% Ethnic Spaniards, I feel like there are a lot of countries missing here Lukereillyy1 (talk) 15:45, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

The Tables in this article should be deleted

There doesn't seem to be a coherent definition of ethnicity here, sometimes different ethnic Groups are just put together. Also a lot of numbers here just don't make sense.

I would propose deleting the tables and just letting the article stand as a definition of Monoethnicity. PtDotE (talk) 10:40, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

Citation request

It would be great if someone can provide a citation saying that 85% should be considered a threshold that a country above it is a monoethnic country — Preceding unsigned comment added by Leoshuo (talk • contribs) 01:09, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

Genuinely curious where "Most African countries have what would be considered a mono-racial society, but it is common to find dozens of ethnic groups within the same country" Is sourced from. Mono-racial society is vague and I am unsure as to what is the intent. If the intent is that mono-racial is akin to nationality, then what singles out African countries over the rest of the world?

Arab-Coptic?

What is this mythical "Arab-Coptic" that has come out of the blue with Egypt? There are Egyptian Arabs, and there are Copts. When you visit the CIA factbook citation, they clearly make the distinction that they are using nationality, not ethnicity, in the note. Most people put the ethnic division in Egypt as ~90% Arab/Arabised North African (depending on if you prefer the cultural or genetic explanation for ethnicity) and ~10% Coptic, even though it heavily depends on which source you use.
