ethno-centricity is an ethic identity within an already biased ethnicity of a nation-state, the bias comes from a collective aggregate... to me the following examples are ethno-centric, all the others succumb to the collective aggregate of a nation-state, as such an ethno-state... but ethnicity is like an eel... you try catching it, it wriggles out into a decentralised form... origin? probably the church-state of the vatican... so tiny, it fits into a city... a state within a city, the antonym of a greek city-state... more like a ******* bedroom-state; i just can't see ethno-"centric" attitudes as pale shadows of "ethno"-centric compulsion for rebellion... against the collective aggregate... it was either the kashubians or the silesians that crafted a petition to invoke distinct diacritical marks to the latin alphabet, deviating from the orthodox collective of a nation... once more... i stopped believing in individual will a long time ago... whether in a palace, or dying on the street... we move as one... i'm really looking for some muslim to invite himself into speaking polish, without arousing any suspicion to craft a terrorist attack... first of all he'll have to drink... mind you, a pinch of salt in a beer, takes away the agitation of your throat, you might receive when drinking it cold, in winter.
we used to have such beautiful ethno-"centric"
terms,
such etymological diamonds to orientate
ourselves around with -
called the irish *celts -
called the scots picts -
called them prussians (quasi-germans) -
called them silesians, called them galicians,
called them swabians, called them saxons,
call them merovingians,
called them angevins -
we had names for these people -
decentralißed - locals -
we had the muscovites -
cockneys born within the earshot of
bow's bells...
the tartars (+ the raw steak) -
we had the burgundians -
the normans -
the pomeranians...
in spain: the basque, the catalonians...
the masovians, for ****'s sake!
all this: a vocabulary peacocking...
reduced to blanks...
inert tongues of "category" -
reduced to a mecca of congregating around
crude, barbaric nouns -
either black, or white...
no mention of cinnamon...
either european, asian,
east europe, west europe... virtues!
the **** do virtues have to do with anything?!
it's a vocab. drought...
ah... **** on me:
why bother with local distinctions...
let's put them in a blender and see what
colour we get...
however many red berries you throw
into a blender, your throw in just a few
blackberries / blueberries...
you're still going to get pale lilac;
i have no idea what ethno-"centrism"
actually represents...
it hasn't exactly reached the upper-tier
of differentiation...
tell you what...
you really want to speak to some who actually
is ethno-centric?
ask the kashubians, or the silesians,
or better still: ask the cornish (people of cornwall)...
i would perhaps ask you the welsh
or the scots... but... well ask the scots and
why they suggest an ideology of
ethno-"centrism", when there is no
ethno-linguistic worked from the beginning...
namely gaelic!
at least the welsh still retain their
primary ethnic identity of speaking
their ****** mothertongue!
no tongue: no ideology, the end.
yes, yes, nice nice, great that you distinguished
yourself with a *******: glaswegian accent!
not good enough... this glaswegian masquerade
would sound three times as better
when you could be bilingual:
speaking english and gaelic...
i only met one person who spoke it...
a schoolfriend's mum...
i bet she also read w. b. yeats -
yeets? or is that yates? or should it be yæts?
never mind, as the kosovans;
kosovo and the last echo chamber of former
yugoslavia, gave an answer:
pretty **** clear, late 1990s ilford:
you could see crowds of kosovans on the streets,
the proud boys soon disappeared
while the dust settled back home.
