If you could be part of any cultural minority group, which would it be?

    Now you are being snobby.
    Everyone is good enough for me, I just wish I was born into a different culture, that's all.

    Being Native American might be fun, too. You know, without the hundreds of years of getting shafted by the american government... I really love their hair and cheekbones.

    I'd love to be Hawaiian and have ancestral roots in the beautiful islands.

    Either that or Asian. I love Asian art and aesthetics.

    many aboriginal peoples, and countries with huge populations tend to have groups of people of a different culture that have been assimilated into society. tibetans are a good example of this.

    brazilians, mexicans or south africans, or anyone who is part of the major cultural group in a sovereign nation, though, do not qualify as a cultural minority in my opinion.

    so if you as a canadian went to England, you'd be in the minority but calling yourself a cultural minority would be unfair, as your culture isn't much different from theirs, and there is typically a fair bit of injustice and suffering associated with cultural minorities. however, one could argue semantics on this forever, in the end it comes down to how you interpret "cultural minority group."

    At least there seems to be one person on here who knows what a cultural minority means.

    I would probably choose to be a pikey or an irish gypsy. I've always wanted to live in a caravan on the fringes of the law, bareknuckle baxing and rearing dags.
