I found it interesting that Foxy's ancestral homeland Lithuania appear to be very monocultural. I think it's a good thing- maybe I'll move to Lithuania when I can't live in Australia anymore.

Foxy having thought long and hard, asked myself are you biased? I have to say some neighbors can not be friends
I am told I have a kind heart, give till it hurts, but enjoy doing it
So new neighbor had no lawn mower, lent them mine, and my fuel, for two years
They needed a paling fence, to have Foster kids, but no cash
Bought them those palings, and mine to do the same
Got very very sick one winter, they mowed my lawn ,for 60 dollars a time
No longer my neighbors, no longer my friends, see two American pitbulls jumped my fence, often, and tried to kill my foxys
And me
Gone now, the pit bulls mauled a child in their big city new home, so yes we should all be friends but it is not always possible

Canem Malum,

Lithuanian monoculture?

Hardly. There's Poles, Russians, Belarussians, Ukrainians,
Jews, Germans, Tatars, Latvians, Romani, Estonians,
Crimean Karaites, Scandinavians - but of course they all
identify as - Lithuanians. (smile).

Mulsims have lived (and served in the military) since the
15th century.

Today, the largest proportion of the planet is multicultural.

Dear Belly,

Well you at least tried.

That's all anybody can do. It's their loss.

We also have lived in neighbourhoods where the
neighbours were not neighbourly. But now we've
been lucky to find a neighbourhood where our
neighbours are simply great

Our current neighbours are from various
ethnic backgounds - unlike the previous neighbourhoods
both in Sydney and Melbourne that were typically
Ocker. We ended up moving.

Canem Malum,

I forgot to add that the Lithuania of today is
so very different from the one that my parents
came from. Today's Lithuania is only just
beginning to regain its traditions, re-learn its
history and try to regain its identity. Over 60 years
of Russification has taken its toll.

According to the Wikipedia article... (not that it's a definitive source) ...

Ethnic Lithuanians make up about five-sixths of the country's population and Lithuania has the most homogeneous population in the Baltic States. In 2015, the population of Lithuania stands at 2,921,262, 84.2% of whom are ethnic Lithuanians who speak Lithuanian, which is the official language of the country. Several sizeable minorities exist, such as Poles (6.6%), Russians (5.8%), Belarusians (1.2%) and Ukrainians (0.5%).[1]

Poles in Lithuania are the largest minority, concentrated in southeast Lithuania (the Vilnius region). Russians in Lithuania are the second largest minority, concentrated mostly in two cities. They constitute sizeable minorities in Vilnius (12%)[323] and Klaipėda (19.6%),[324] and a majority in the town of Visaginas (52%).[325] About 3,000 Roma live in Lithuania, mostly in Vilnius, Kaunas and Panevėžys; their organizations are supported by the National Minority and Emigration Department.[326] For centuries a small Tatar community has flourished in Lithuania.[327]
