I have always liked the ant in the jungle theory. In a jungle there exists several millions of ants, consisting of hundreds of pounds of biomass, but the odds of any one individual ant ever seeing a Chinese or Dutch born native is very-very low. This does not mean that Chinese or Dutch people don't exist, it just means that they are most likely sticking close to home and not trashing around tropical jungles and making themselves visible to the ants. And keep in mind when people do take notice of ants it rarely ends well for them.
