[quote=@Kratesis] Okay so what is your claim here? That ethnostates are so rare we don't know of any and thus we can't say anything about what an ethnostate is because they never existed? The true ethnostate has never been tried? [/quote] To dig through all of your pedantic questions this would be closest to my point. Im saying the very idea of ethno-states is shaky on so many grounds and arbitrary that a place could or could not be an ethno-state depending on who you talk to, Richard Spencer does say that america used to be an ethnostate or at least close to one because it was more than 95% white. Obviously you and others call places like Japan and maybe even india or china ethnostates for the same reason, that their countries 'look' fairly racially homogenous. Some say an ethno-state has to be a 100% pure, some say above 90% or 85% some say you can have a non native populatiob but as long as the government is working soley in the interests of the native ethnicity. So yeah its hard to say anything about an ethnostate when there is no real settled example, we probably have 4 different interpretations in this thread alone.
