Not to belabor the point, however the US is a nation of immigrants. For example being born and raised in NYC I can safely say that almost all the people I have known are either first, second or third generation Americans. And that their antecedents come from almost every nation on earth. I doubt that there is any nation in the world with a population mix to compare with the US. That is what makes our society strong and vibrant and different.
Hi Au
But this exactly my point - my country is easily as diverse as the US. I'm not saying the US isn't diverse. My point of annoyance was your blanket statement that all other countries are one dimensional (ethnically, religiously) - this is plainly not true.
Even the fish and chip eating Grand Duke's land of England is a melting pot of Asians, Carribeans, Africans and the usual bunch of Europeans. France has a stack of African, middle eastern and Oceanian emigres.
Ciao baby.
