Where does identifying as Mexican fall into this discussion? e: for that matter, how many generations down does this matter for? Seems like a really America-specific perspective. Furia has a new favorite as of 20:33 on Jan 21, 2020 |

Jay Rust posted:With Canada: The people of Quebec have a culture and history which has evolved in a fundamentally different way from their French origin. In fact, what is surprising here is that the chart says "French Canadian" at all, given that a large proportion of people in Quebec do not consider themselves French OR Canadian; they are Quebecois. They are decidedly not "just Canadians who speak French". They've been trying to leave Canada for literally decades because of this. If you actually take a look at the results of Statcan's 2006 Census, you will find that "French Canadian" actually does not appear at all in the results, and that it was substituted instead of "Quebecois" in your chart. It's actually kind of offensive, to be honest.

There was indeed a significant proportion of self-reported Acadians in that Census. There are no self-reported "French-Canadians". I'm very sorry that I forgot our Francophone minority friends in the other provinces. That's my bad.

The way I heard it was that the figure was derived from large scale genetic studies on unrelated things, I really need to try and track down a reference someday to see if there's actually any truth to it. Also yes, québécois will in general not take kindly to being called French.

From an annual report of a pretty major company (50k+ employees). I'm sure this could be explained somehow. If anyone ITT can do that, I'd be grateful.

Hippie Hedgehog posted:From an annual report of a pretty major company (50k+ employees). Somebody got the bright idea to combine a bar chart showing total sales with a bar chart showing % change in sales for each market area, but with the boxes scaled to show % change of the total sales caused by the changes in each market area (without actually labeling those percentages, because gently caress you).

Hippie Hedgehog posted:From an annual report of a pretty major company (50k+ employees). Yeah I see what they're going for. 2018 is the benchmark year, and then the bar chart sections are placed to be cumulative. Then if you add up all the components, you get to the 2019 sales number. It's less clear to me what the 'reported' line is on the bottom.

It started out as just a few tiny leftover areas that remained loyal to the Crown, and even now, when you look at the map, they're split in two by Quebec. Forget the linguistic divide, I'm surprised that even the Anglo part has a common identity.

Hippie Hedgehog posted:From an annual report of a pretty major company (50k+ employees). It's not hard. AMER is their biggest market section. EMEA and APAC are in shambles but distinct shambles which is useful information. Rather than reifying these categories they are grouping them by most "like" so "Europe" and "Latin America" behave similarly. So they should continue to focus on America/Canada and focus on growing NE Asia. My guess is that they wanted to promote one manager and fire another.

Hippie Hedgehog posted:From an annual report of a pretty major company (50k+ employees). These are useful because you might see overall YoY of +/-0%, but with the breakdown it’s because of growth in one area cancelling out shrinkage in another. As for the reporting, I’d guess this was guidance or estimates from before the start of the year.

Chin Strap posted:Why is 13 half the size of 11? Bars size is absolute sales. North East Asia’s sales grew proportionally more than North America’s, but North America was a larger market to start with, so it made a greater change to the company’s bottom line.

Forget the linguistic divide, I'm surprised that even the Anglo part has a common identity. It doesn't really. Canada is an extremely regional country, with regional identities that often have very little in common because populations are small and spread out over large distances. Generally you can talk about the Atlantic provinces, Quebec, Ontario, the Prairies, and British Columbia each having their own regional distinctions and cultural identities, and often these regions really hate each other to boot because everybody constantly feels like the other regions are screwing them over somehow.

Weird divisions like that make sense when you think of it less as geographical regions and more as business volume. If they don't do a lot of business in Europe or Latin America, but do more than zero, it makes sense to lump it all under one umbrella in the budget. They may just consider these their lowest priority markets.
