What countries have the closest socioeconomic analogues to these groups in the United States?

[WindowPhil]

Black Americans (or I suppose the minority situation in general) who disproportionately live in sections of metropolitan areas and face disproportionate problems with poverty (such as being unbanked) and other negative outcomes.

I can't think of any countries that have populations that are disproportionately unbanked, disproportionately lack government ID (and extension ability to vote), and speak a dialect that is unique to the surrounding population.

White Conservative Christians who are disproportionately wealthy and socially conservative relative to the surrounding population.

And By Extension

White Conservative Christian lobbying pressure. Which includes things like censorship of over the air media content, political debates over social issues, and overall Moralist influence in society.

Latino immigrants, who are  large enough to allow for television channels and radio stations to air content that is in a language that isn't historically tied to the country.


(forgot to include) Super progressive cities like San Francisco that are disproportionately socially progressive relative to the country's population.


You can think outside the box on these. Perhaps the closest analogue to America's white conservative Christians is in a majority Buddhist country. Perhaps the closest analogue to Black Americans isn't distinguished by race, but some other factor.

None exactly same, but probably best comparison I can think of is Arabs in France.

This is a tough one.  Even some like Catholic church in Ireland, Catholic church in Malta who were like this say 20 years ago have lost a lot of clout since.  Perhaps Orthodox church in Russia and Islamic faith in Turkey, but neither are liberal democracies like US is.

In most East Asian countries they are pretty strict on this and even more so in Middle East, but more cultural norms than a specific group.

While not national per se, in Vancouver where I live, Chinese community and East Indian community a lot like this.  Many radio stations and newspapers in Cantonese and Punjabi here.  Although not immigrants per se, best example I can think of is Russian minority in Estonia and Latvia who have large language population and whole network.  But most moved while part of the USSR.

For UK, Bristol would sort of be an example of this.  In Israel, Tel Aviv is increasingly becoming this as Tel Aviv is very liberal unlike much of the rest of the country which is quite conservative.  Amsterdam is also this since despite the reputation of Dutch being very liberal, much of the country is actually fairly conservative while Amsterdam with its marijuana coffee shops, red light district is in a lot of ways Europe's version of San Francisco.

Some parts of the Netherlands (Urk!) are in fact amongst the most conservative in W Europe.

It really does have great variety for such a relatively small and populous country.

Yeah, they have a party that basically was forced to allow women by law.

Black people i guess might be the Roma? Weak comparison for many reasons but it's the closest i can come to, would argue that the Roma are significantly worse off

Turkish people are basically the Mexicans of Germany

Super liberal cities would maybe be Green-voting inner cities, e.g. city centers of Hamburg, Berlin, Köln, etc.

I think this is the same party that still "shuts" its website on Sundays?

Yeah, they are popular in the central part of the country.

Where do you get the idea that white Christians are disproportionately wealthy? They might be disproportionately not poor. I think Jews, Indians, and maybe groups like Lebanese would be disproportionately wealthy.
