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?

    But the freaking premier got crucified simply for pointing that out.

    Which is the same as demand.

    Really I covered everything you just asked.

    I’m sad to say it, but you have reading comprehension problems. Maybe that’s my bad English, but not sure I could take complaints in that regard seriously here.

      What? In BC the demand is for Mandarin. There is no demand for French. But French is the language that’s required in many positions in BC. I have no idea what you’re trying to say. Ditto for your second part.
