    Venetians, Sicilian, Lombardians and Neapolitans are not minorities, it is not an ethnicity, religion or anything. it’s literally “people that live in X” and X is a region from Italy, literally one of the most industrialized countries in the world. It’s like saying “new yorkers are a minority”. Moreover, even if they were, literally nothing is happening to them.

    Source: I’m venetian and my grandfather was lombardian. I know my people.

    Also, I won’t give you something to hang on, so I won’t say anything for sure. But I’m pretty sure most of the people in that list are in this same position.

      Same with Transilvanians. It’s just a historical region between the Carpathian Mountains and that’s it. Learn a bit of Romanian and you can get along with anyone from Transylvania, Crișana, Maramureș, Banat, Oltenia, Muntenia, Moldova (both sides of the Prut river) and whatnot.

      The only problem I see there is for the Roma people, but their problem is not nearly as big as the one of the Uyghurs. It’s not the 1800s anymore.
