It depends on whether they keep their original culture or
get assimilated. This is the problem that caused the
Kosovo War: back in the 20s, there was a minority of
muslims of albanian ancestry, and a majority of serbians.
But - even though they had the same wealth, as Yugoslavia
was a commie country - the albanians had 10+ kids per couple,
while the serbians has 2-.
So, the situation reversed, and the serbians became a
minority in their own country.
