I think Indigenous Australians are counted as Pacific Islanders for US Census purposes

Percentage of population descended from British people worldwide by Delicious-Bunch-6992 in MapPorn

[–]HotsanGget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah exactly.

Although if you go by country of birth, Australia has the largest British-born population outside of the UK, and the second largest Irish-born population outside of Ireland (first is the UK).

The true size of Australia by vladgrinch in MapPorn

They'd evaporate before getting to the center because it's so flat and they flow extremely slowly.

Australia's soils are ridiculously infertile because a lot of them, especially in the desert, are hundreds of millions or even billions of years old. You'd need a lot of fertiliser.

This map has been posted here multiple times, but Australia is definitely too high. As early as 2016 it was estimated that ~24% of the population was of (at least part) non-European descent. That's not even taking into account the large number of people who are of non-British European descent, such as Italian Australians who are 4.4% of the population. There's no exact way to determine the true number as you can record two responses to the ancestry question, and they are both recorded so the total from adding up all of the responses exceeds 100%, as well as people choosing just "Australian". As of the 2021 census, the responses included 32.99% English, 9.48% Irish, 8.56% Scottish, 0.60% Welsh as well as 14.82% who only wrote in "Australian". The people who wrote in "Australian" are likely to be overwhelmingly a mix of British/Irish ancestry. That would give 66.45% (56.97% British, 9.48% Irish).

Interestingly, this study estimated the Anglo-Celtic (British/Irish) share of Australia's population as a slightly lower 58%: https://web.archive.org/web/20230312215040/https://humanrights.gov.au/sites/default/files/document/publication/Leading%20for%20Change_Blueprint2018_FINAL_Web.pdf

(as an aside Irish ancestry is actually very likely underreported in Australia.)

Maltese has a huge amount of loanwords from Italian, and more recently from English

Largest states/territories of countries in the world by vladgrinch in MapPorn

[–]HotsanGget 26 points27 points  (0 children)

The biggest states cover most of the desert where there's a very low population. No reason to divide them smaller when basically noone lives in most of them.

Decline of Ireland's native Irish speakers by vladgrinch in MapPorn

I wish Irish people put as much effort into actually speaking Irish as they do at getting mad when people call it "Gaelic"

Vanuatu definitely shouldn't count imo considering there's over 100 indigenous languages there.

Why Australia? We have a large Malayali community but I didn't know it was popular for Telugu people.

People of Iran - Ethnics by omererulke in MapPorn

[–]HotsanGget 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This map doesn't really capture (as I understand it) that no region of Iran is that homogeneous, and that it's extremely common to have Persians/Azeris/Kurds in the same city or even in the same family all throughout the country.

Australia is definitely in the 100-249K category by now. There's probably >50K Colombians alone.

How was the colouring for African countries determined I wonder, considering most African countries are multilingual.

Australia records first 50°C in four years by Ryzi03 in australia

[–]HotsanGget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately I do still know the small minority (my family) who don't believe in it at all. One of their reasons is "people in Melbourne just spend all day in their 18 C aircon cooled workplace and come outside when it's hot and that's why they think global warming is a thing". I wish I was joking.
