Who do you think you are Kingsbury? What you said was absolute nonsense. It's not a matter of "fuss" it is matter of not being assimilationist, every continent where there is a census all countries are included in the census. And covering assimilationism with rhetorical statements about nationalism indicates your silence on assimilationism. You should be shamed of yourself for writing such nonsense. Anyone with any sense would realise that what you were advocating was assimilationism.
