What do you guys think is the rarest culture (what I mean by that is what race)?


I would say Bangladesh would be the most rare, you don't hear it in the regular banter, now do you.
 
There are over 100,000,000 Bangladeshi. They certainly aren't a rare people.
 
Why wouldn't it be? It has something to do with world races/cultures, no?

Not sure what you mean. My old neighbors were from Bangladesh. Lots of people I go to classes with are from Bangladesh. Just because they're not represented in movies and TV the way Indians and Chinese are doesn't make them rare.
 
I've lived in many places, all the people I talked to never heard of Bangladesh.

Well i dont know for sure.. but im guessing you never lived around DC or the east coast of the U.S.

Its very multicultural here.

I dont know about ontario though.
 
Very good grammar in the OP. :thumbsup:

Anyways, the rarest culture outside of one's nation would, in my opinion, would be Native Americans. They number less than a million now. Also, you could consider, for Americans, Bhutanese. What American has ever knew a person from Bhutan?
 
There are Bhutanese here...but then again we border them. And we border Bangladesh too. I've even meet a Checynan back in the US.

I've never meet a Licestienanen though, or an Andorran, Monocan, or Luxuemborguian.
 
Are we talking about a culture, or a race, or a nation? The rarest cultures are extinct ones obviously, but of the ones that still exist maybe the aborigines of Australia are the rarest? The smallest nation would certainly not be Bangladesh - try Burkina Faso or Tuvalu.

That could be because the main language, i.e. often understood as the dominant culture, is Bengali (Bangla), which isn't limited to Bangladesh iirc.

Bengali otoh is one of the major languages of the Indian sub-continent, with one of the most important litteratures. Tagore wrote in Bengali for example, and won the Nobel Prize for literature already in 1913.
 
First people in NZ, before the Maoris arrived.

IIRC still a few on an island south of the South island...

common misconception, they werent the first people in NZ before maori, though alot of new zealanders think this.

They were a tribe of maori who moved to the chatam islands and grew a distincted peacefull culture. a little while after europeans arived on new zealand and Chatam a tribe of maori hired some european ships and went over their and conquered them. Alot of cannablise in the attack i think.
