Nations (3.5%); Approximately, one third of respondents identified their ethnicity as "Canadian". (...) In 2006, 16.2% of the population belonged to non-aboriginal visible minorities." and tell me how you make sense of that and compare it? For the UK we learn "As of 2007, 22% of primary school children and 17.7% of children at secondary school in
England were from ethnic minority families." but at the same time, about 86% recorded 'White British' on the census. BUT, unlike in Canada, people could not tick a box for 'English' or 'Scottish' or 'Welsh', only 'white other' if they didn't agree with the available options. Interestingly, only 1.2% recorded White Irish as compared to the Canadian 13.9%, which tells you issues of identity are as involved as actual ancestry.

Chinese invasion. Many of the more recent immigrants were deported to a prison camp in Rajasthan built at American insistence to hold "communist agitators"; the naturalisation process for many of the others was stopped. In response, the Indo-Chinese community has gradually built up an aggressively anti-People's Republic sense of Chinese nationalism: it was first focused on Hong Kong, and then, after Thatcher blinked, it turned inward and Westward. In recent years, the largest city for Indian Chinese is not Calcutta but Toronto, where I understand they are considered "different".

simplest possible terms, they are operating with a mandate from their respective governments, probably with not inconsiderable influence from the United States. They have undoubtedly appointed certain people to be in charge (i.e., made them generals, if they didn't already hold that rank, or promoted suitably experienced people to that rank from lesser ranks, if the current generals are deemed unsuitable for the job). Naturally, new recruits in these armies start out as privates. This is all supposition, of course, but I don't think there's any reason to believe that they would use some completely different process for doing it, as this is pretty much established practice. --

These geenrals would probably be people who had previous experience of running large military organizations, or who at least had a good understanding of how that sort of thing is done, if no such people were available at all -- not to mention people equipped with functioning morals and ethics, one would hope. The appointments would probably be based on skill, merit, connections, loyalty and/or bribes, depending on the government in question. It could even be a democratic process.

Checking our article on Geoffrey, I see it says "The first reference to Norman heraldry was in 1128, when Henry I of England knighted his son-in-law Geoffrey and granted him a badge of gold lions (or leopards) on a blue background..."
