I like to work on the assumption that cnsus and broad studies are bought by
whoever ordered them (seriously, you should see some opinion polls around here)
so most of the time I base my opinions on things that I can experience myself.
Which means the sampling is very small, but at least I know what to expect.
Regarding Spanish demographics: I certainly expect less variety than in the US.
We have a significative gypsy population (have had it for centuries) and a lot
of illegal immigration from North Africa. Also a significative bit of SOuth
Americans.
When I visited industries and factories and such, what you found operating
machines and manufacturing goods were your old Péérez and García. You know,
Spaniards whose genealogic tree you could probably track to times of the
inquisition. IN the Spanish case (not implying that it is comparable to the
US), if gypsies stoped working, flea markets, fairs and potato production would
collapse; if South American immigrants stopped working, nothing would collapse;
if North Africans stopped working, mining would take a strong hit (probably
collapse, but not sure). If whites stopped working, EVERYTHIN else would
collapse.
This is what I mean when I talk about being an engine. If Hispanics in the US
decided to call it a day and stop working, figure out what would collapse. Then
compare it with what would collapse if different groups decided to do the same.
Many groups are more powerful than others (which is, in fact, the core fact
Identitary Politics root from).
It also links to the idea of being a political majority. I probably didn't
explain myself very well earlier. The thing is, having the most members does
not mean anything if your members generate no political pressure. Say, if a
village has more 80 years old people than younger people, old people is
probbaly not a powerful political group because the only thing they can do is
cast votes. They cant elect Union leaders, go on strikes, paralyze industries
and so on. Vote casting is a powerful thing to do, but I think that rising
funds for political campaigns and causing media impact is extremely important
nowadays. If you think my idea makes any sense.
