The World's Strangest Ethnic Enclaves

What are the world's weirdest ethnic enclaves? Today we're going to be looking at some of the history behind some of the most wacky, zany, out of place peoples in the entire world.
Be sure to let me know which ethnic enclave you find to be the most strange in our crazy mixed up world, and be sure to check out some of the videos referenced here! Thanks for watching!

Surprising how you didn’t give Brazil a brief mention, especially with the fact they have many ethnically European cities scattered throughout the nation which even retain the old languages of their ancestors

[@katarzynalpzm0arajko-nenow32]

Yes, exackly. I know about Polish and Ukrainian comunities but there is possibly more. If you're Brazilian or better oriented than me 😊, let me know. I'm curious.

[@hieratics]

​@katarzynalpzm0arajko-nenow32 there is a city called Prudentópolis which is made of Ukrainian migrants, and many other of Germans and Italians, and also we have the biggest population of Japanese outside Japan.

[@sigmuntking8529]

Most interesting are Polish Haitians descendants of troops sent to suppress Haiti. They proved that Poles usually side with the oppressed people. Same happened in Mexico when Polish immigrants sided with Benito Juarez against emperor Maximilian.

[@XochiCh]

Well, rather than being opression, the war between Benito Juarez and Maximilian von Habsburg wasnt a war of opression, but more of a political struggle, either way, the good side lost we wou'dlve been a lot better with Maximilian, a professional Statesman and Businessman with way better political, economic and geographical ideas than Juarez, plus he had hundreds of years of experience, as his family was that of expert rulers. The argument basically boiled down to Juarez: "No Allies!! France would use us!" vs Maximilian: "France is Ally! We'll use them as much as possible."

[@vladstefan5216]

Here in Romania we still know how you used to rule over Moldavia like the powers ruled over the Duchy of Warsaw. And while you were better than the soon to come overlords like the Ottomans, Hungarians and Russians, we actually choosing you over the first two, you still did your fair share of oppresing.

[@Pandzikizlasu80]

Polish motto is "God, Honor, Fatherland", so even if we can't fight directly for Poland, we can still fight for previous ideas with equal commitment. Fighting against uprising of enslaved people in Haiti was not honorable at all. Ok also French insted let those people fight for Poland used them in theirs affairs on the end of world.

[@ebrelus7687]

Sadly power corrupts everyone equally. There was also a time of big misunderstanding and bad will towards Ukrainians in PolihsLithuanian Kingdom - still polish occupation was always less damaging thanrussian one which lefts in such a state only... Russians.. like it happened in Ukraine under theirs rule. Polish Kingdom was to long peaceful and prosperous what dimished high values of nobles and strict christian rising of polish kids degenerated them for generations to come. That was a cultural corruption which also with political one made Kingdom weak and easy to manipulate and partition by enemy nations age or two later was imminent. Romania didnt really help Poland much in comparison to Hungary in the time of WWII but to be honest polish elites screw their job so much (not mobilising effectively even half of soldiers and with government which escaped in first days of invasion) that hard to blame anybody else here (and still better than Slovakia that was a Hitler's puppet state). Romania has it's own problems but i like what a nice direction it goes now in pro-freedom reforms and i also hope you will be able to merge peacefully with Moldova in the future. Similar people should be living in nation that is close to them and represents their interests making their living more bearable in this crazy world.

[@fidelelethiopico]

And that's probably the reason why Poland is such a welcoming country when it comes to Syrian war refugees nowadays, right?

[@MS-dl2co]

The reason the polish soldiers sided with the Haitians was that they felt compassion for the Haitians as they just as the Polish desired independence.

Hi, thanks for the excellent information. I am from South Africa, I speak Afrikaans. There is an enclave of South Africans in Argentina, actually farmers (Boers) since 1902. In the 1950's a group of South Africans also moved to Kenia and settled the town of Eldoret. They moved back when Kenia became independent, but there is at least one family still farming outside Eldoret, after these years.

We also had Korean-Mexican families. A lot more Koreans will be seen doing the State fairs as they will have unique things to sell. The state that I grew up in also had a very sizeable Mennonite colony. It was common to find Mennonite cheese all over the the state of Zacatecas. During the 80s, we had a lot of Argentine refugees who settled in fleeing the military dictatorship. I remember that cuz my first crush was for an Argentine girl who lived down the street from my house. LOL.

The Poles did not "turncoat" during the Haitian Revolution (that implies betrayal), the Poles were fighting for their independence back home, started understanding that Napoleon lied to them in terms of why they were sent there, and that the Haitian rebels were fighting for a similar cause. Poles joined the Haitian rebels and the rest is history.

Just imagine. You are a Pole from the Napoleon era. You have just lost your country. You heart that Napoleon is preparing an invasion on your greatest enemies. So you packed up and walked over 1000km to Italy to join the French army. And Napoleon is sending YOU to fight with people fighting for THEIR freedom?! No way! BTW. France is our greatest ally. Never forget your help in 1939.

[@kalvincastro9042]

Aciek25 Indeed. Seems rather redundant. Sending Native French to Haïti would of been the best course of plans, while keeping the poles in the front lines of the French border would probably have served France well. Of course a simple switch up of some people might not change much or anything at all in the grand scheme of things.

Duff Clem Don't feel offended. We love Napoleon. He is even in our anthem. Poland isn't 3th world country. We are European country too. And Poland is richer comparing to east European countrys and balkans. Of course we aren't as rich as France, Germany or UK, but we are on similar level as Spain or Portugal if it comes to economy. Poland is very safety country too. Prizes are smaller than in west Europe and we know languages so many people go aboard for vacation job to get more money.

black ops - Being of Swedish descent, I've often wondered the same thing since those northern states are full of Swedes too. Not only did they come to a land that was almost exactly the same, they managed to find an area that's even _colder_ than most of Scandinavia! Lol! Of course, it's likely they chose this area because nearly all of them were poor farmers and finding a familiar landscape allowed them to put their skills to use right away. Still, I'm grateful that my Swedish mother said "Screw this freezing weather! I'm going to Southern California."

[@Artur_M.]

Thanks for talking about the Polish-Haitian connection, but there were some inaccuracies. Polish troops were send there in 1802, when the Duchy of Warsaw did not yet exist. They're the soldiers of Polish Legions - volunteer auxiliary forces organised after the 3rd partition of Poland in 1795 to fight for independence. After the Treaty of Luneville (1801), which made France temporarily not at war with any of the partitioning powers, they got incorporated into the French army and their morale was low. Being send to the other side of Atlantic to die on yellow fever while fighting other people wanting freedom did not rise it. Although it is debated to what extent Poles actually turned to insurgents side, or were just showing them some sympathy, and in return were treated better when taken captive (like not murdered on the spot, for starters).

Hello Mason! Cool video! Thanks for posting. Another interesting and surprising ethnic enclave is in the state of Kerala in South India. In the city of Kochi/Cochin, there is a neighborhood called Jew Town. The Jewish community there had a big hand in the spice trade (much of the prized black pepper came from there). There is even a 16th century synagogue. I was fortunate enough to see it. The Jewish population there (Paradesi Jews) has dwindled over the years, to only a few people today. Kerala is very interesting for its multiculturalism and immigration history. These Jewish people began settling in Kerala 2000 to 3000 years ago, and also Syrian Christians settled in Kerala around 2000 years ago. Chinese people also settled in Kochi. Today you can still visit the famous "Chinese fishing nets." Anyway, cheers!

[@Vitalis94]

sonikku956 Manouchka doesn't strike me as a Polish name, and I'm Polish. It's more Russian to me. But what do I know, maybe it's the result of some wierd French spelling...

[@sonikku956]

Vitalis It's Russian? Hmm, maybe some of the Poles were Russian migrants who moved to Poland prior?

[@Vitalis94]

Most of the soldiers were either nobles or other upper class Poles. Poland had it's share of Ruthenian and Russian people inside the Commonwealth, yes, but nobles were almost entirely Polonized. So I really doubt it, but there always can be an exeption. Anyway, I've looked it up. Your friends' name is a first name, no? Not a surname? Because it turns out that Manouchka is indeed a popular female name that is Haitian-Creole version of Russian Manushka, which in turn has it's origin in Slovakia. Weird, I know. Had her grand-grand-grand mother have such a name I would argue that the possibility of her being descended from some Ruthenian Pole would be high, but there is one more thing to consider. Russian names are simply popular nowadays, even abroad. Hell, in the Netherlands, where I currently live, many girls have Russian derrived names, even ones that are variants of Manouchka. So in the end, it's got more to do with the popularity of the name today, than some weird Polish ancestors on her part. Unless, of course, it's a surname.

+Angie Brown: No problem!

[@Rationalific]

+Ikallicrates: I think that is true. People who read a lot gain a lot of knowledge and pick up a vocabulary that average people might not know. Because so few other people know much about the topic, nearly everything you find about the topic is through reading, and thus it is difficult to know the pronunciations. (In addition, there are often words that sound different in British English, American English, and in the original language of the group where the word originates.

[@ridesharegold6659]

Watching these videos I've pretty much come to expect that he's going to mispronounce stuff at random - more often by putting the accent on the wrong syllable. In this video, for instance, at 1:48 when he mispronounces "Levant".

[@Rationalific]

+Leif Burban: Good point. The original is technically "Skythian".

[@Rationalific]

+RideShareGold: Oh yeah. "Levant" should have its second syllable stressed. Of course, as stated above, Masaman has a ton of knowledge, but little of this knowledge is shown on TV or talked about except in certain circles, so books (or written works on the internet) are the main resource, hence some divergent pronunciations.

[@bezwzglednypierozek7884]

Poles didn't want to suppress other nation independance when they were fighting for their own independance back then (Napolean promised to give us it). Later it bacame clear that Napoleon was just using us xd

[@nikeayuiop]

You could speak about the arabs (mainly palestinians) in Chile and Peru

[@petergray2712]

There are Arab communities all over the Americas: Lebanese in Mexico, Palestinians in Venezuela etc....

[@omp199]

I would very much like to learn about the Palestinians in Chile, because my nephews have Chilean ancestry, and the genetic testing by 23andMe turned up a whole load of Palestinian relatives of theirs, which presumably means they're descended from Palestinians who moved there.

I spent summers and one school year with descendants of the Finns who founded Finland, in Minnesota’s Arrowhead country. Now I would love to see story of the Ojibwe (Chippewa) migration from Atlantic seaboard to Minnesota since 1492. You do a great job, Masaman!

[@donnysalton7576]

You should do a video on the Mennonites and the Amish

[@nurval1093]

i thought the same.

[@whiterhino414]

Very well done keep it up

[@wackyruss]

This video truly is fascinating.

[@skysthelimitvideos]

Can you make a video of the ethnic enclaves of NYC and it’s suburbs? The demographics here are really interesting here.

[@fartreta]

Please make a video about the Trans-Baltic Swedes (Finland Swedes, Estonia Swedes and the Swedes of Gammalsvenskby in Ukraine) A lot of people know about the Finland Swedes but these other Eastern Swedes are less known.

[@omgitsjoetime]

No one cares about the Swedes

[@WeeedyMcMeth]

I feel so much smarter after watching a bunch of your videos. They make the world make more sense.

[@VileVeil]

Mason, love your channel! Have you done a video of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands?

[@djmuscovy7525]

There are a small number of Jews in kaifeng 开封 city, henan 河南 province in China. They got there around 11th century as traders, I think, traveling along the silk road.

[@eliasfrahat7074]

Do about mongolia please no one seem to care about mongolia sadly

[@viorp6982]

Yea, the Lipka Tatars are an interesting group. Tatars which are descendants of the Tatars from the Polish Lithuenian Commonwealth. They speak Polish, practice Islam etc.

[@igoralmeida9136]

There are more mongolians living in China than in Mongolia.

[@lekhwaramit]

Elias Frahat nobody care for you unless you made them to do so, whether be like india or north korea.

[@blakops000007]

I'm Iraqi and I do care about the mongols, I even know a bit of their throat singing and currently practicing horse archery. It's weird since they practically razed Iraq to the grounds yet you can't stop but admire their culture.

[@eliasfrahat7074]

black ops greeting brother

[@Ah4b]

I greatly enjoy your videos, it is a unique channel. I think it would be easier to follow at times if there were more pauses and variation in the pronunciation.

[@whiskytango4853]
