    - I knew a Chinese-ethnic family from Guyana. Somewhat unnerving to hear that accent from them. A lot were used for cheap/slave labour in the past. -- nm - zork Jul 10, 06:49
    - Yeah, there are a lot of Germans who moved to Chile (but like, in the 19th century). -- nm - mafic Jul 10, 06:24 3

        I'm always amused that Argentina took in a bunch of Germans and a bunch of Jews around that time. Way to not pick sides! -- nm - Reagen Jul 10, 06:34
