Living in Canada, the most multi-cultural country in the world, I whole heartedly support Coonie's discrimination.
Canada is the World's most culturally diverse country? Serious Question.
But London is definitely the most multi-cultural city...
)Two girls from my class are from Vancouver, BC. One is beautiful and very intelligent. She doesn't speak much, though. But I have a mad crush on her. She may have seen me smoking at the smoker's lounge on campus today, though, so I'm kinda worried about her judging me solely on that. Not that she wouldn't find out eventually, but...whatever. This Monday night (weird, I know) when we go out after our physio exam, I may see her out too. Get a couple drinks in me and I might talk to her.
No one comment about what I just said.
There's another girl from Vancouver, and she's friends with the other one. She's cute and a little mousey looking, but she has great tits for a 5'2" girl.
I've talked to every girl in my class, including the latter one, but not the former one, who, like I said, I am mad crushing on. This always happens.
As far as Indians go, they're shitty, no matter where you go. Canada, US, England...fuckin'....India. Just today there were about 50 people lined up for a bus to go home that could seat, maybe, 30 people? I was the first few there, waiting for the bus. One of the biggest guys there too. The bus came (giggity) and everyone bum-rushed it. I could have plowed through like Jerome Bettis, but I had a conscience. I was going to trample ten little Indian girls and that one geeky Indian guy who has the body build of an Indian girl. I waited twenty minutes for the next one. Because I don't have a tiny penis.
Vancouver feels more multi-cultural than London. Definitely it's the most culturally diverse place I've been to.
I've been to London a few times in the past but this year I had a flight from Vancouver to London and I noticed the difference - how in London it's mostly about Indians, eastern Europeans and Polish people. In Vancouver there are people from all over Asia or Europe but also from random small places from Africa, South America, USA - it's like there are people from everywhere there. It happens on a bigger scale than in London. Also, in Vancouver there are no "Canadians and immigrants" because most people are new there so everyone who goes there gets treated like a Canadian, if I remember correctly more than 50% of people of Vancouver weren't born there. In London there are "the English and immigrants" because they still perceive immigrants as some sort of invaders.
Also, Canadians take pride in being so diverse and tolerant and somehow keeping peace amongst all those groups and they like pointing that out.
I don't know what part of London you went to... But there are 100's of different nationalities... All over the place. London is a pretty large city. It takes about 3 hours to get a tube from one side to the other. To me, the area you have described sounds like Greater London, the borough of Hillingdon, specifically.
But London is definitely the most multi-cultural city...
It's a stick that you hold and say your feelings without judgment from others.
I usually stayed in Wimbledon but hanged out around the whole "center" of London. I know that there are people from everywhere too but.. it feels different because there are still "English" people 'dominating'. The city of Vancouver wasn't even a city.. a hundred years ago or so. Then people from all regions of the world got there and made it what it is. Actually "diversity" when we speak of any European place is totally different than Canadian diversity.
says who? and why not New York City?
and how does one even define that.
1. number of different ethnicities/nationalities living?
2. number of languages spoken?
etc.
I'm no demographer, but I think Toronto, LA and NYC are more diverse than London. Hell, throw Chicago in there too.
A recent study has found over 300 languages are spoken by children in London's schools. This finding confirms that London has the most varied use of language in the world.
The research also showed that while English is still the most common first language for more than a third of children, it is not the first language they will speak or hear spoken at home. Instead, Punjabi, Hindi/Urdu and Gujarati came in at 1st, 2nd and 4th most spoken languages respectively, with French and Spanish coming in at 11th and 14th.

Based on your extensive vists to any of those places!!
