People from a minority/dying culture, how do you feel about it? (lemmy.ml)

There are many cultures around the world that are suppressed by majoritarianism. They have to face challenges like forced assimilation, language discrimination and refusal to acknowledgement of their unique identity. In fact, many cultures have been identified by UNESCO, that will soon cease to exist - either that they're vulnerable, or completely extinct. How do you, as a minority, feel, knowing that your entire identity will cease to exist in a few decades? Do you have a sense of camaraderie towards other minorities from other parts of the world, say, the Ainu people, or the Brahui pastoralist?

How privileged must you be to be bothered simply by seing french on cereal boxes. A bit pathetic isn't it? You wanna call you country's official langage an "other langague", because of course there's the only one main language?

Dude, I'm starting to think you're not learning french not because you don't want to, but because you simply lack the capability to do so.

If you want to start you party to kick Quebec out of Canada I will 100% support it.

Also, Pauvre petit coco means Poor little egg. Not exactly an insult, you would get it if you could speak french but I guess learning another langague is out of your reach.
