		I'm not sure it's bad at all. China has around 1.5 billion people and officially recognizes 55 ethnicities. Some of them look more like non Chinese people than like I he Chinese ethnicities.

		`> officially recognizes 55 ethnicities` Once you get a bit deeper, you realize the whole "we are mostly Han Chinese" (Google says 91%!) is a total farce. They is just too much genetic and cultural diversity across 1+ billion people to call them a single ethnicity. Conservatively, I would say it is more like 250+ ethnolinguistic groups within the Han Chinese. Indonesia is about 1000+, but it is an island nation, so there will naturally be much more ethnolinguistic groups.
