This is my thread

[Pittsey]

Lived in NYC, from Chicago, lived in England and went to London a lot including visiting back once after I left.

You lived in Barnsley (?). And define a lot. I think the statistics I posted prove more.

Most of the "foreign" people in the USA are at least 3rd generation. Those are Americans. Most of the people I am talking about in London, speak English as a second language.

Monthly for three years.

I just gave my two cents. I don't have the time nor enough fucks to give to go look up statistics on it. All my logic is built off the fact that the US is the most diverse country, and should therefore have the most diverse cities.

Are you serious??!!??

You Americans need to get out more. How many Mosques do you have in your city? In any city?

I don't care much either. And feel I have contributed too much already.

 

[dilla]

Having mosques in your city is never a good thing.

I have two or three in the neighborhood where my parents live. A 15 mile radius has three. That's three more than there should be.

There are four or five churches, a Hindu temple, a Hindu vedantic studies center, a Buddhist temple/mediation area, and a Zoroastrian temple as well. I have been to all of these.

Nah... I agree. I am jealous of US immigration restrictions.

In the UK we have a poor immigration policy and a free market to all EU members. So... We get a shit load of immigrants coming in on a yearly basis. But they don't really spread out amongst the country. Most of them come to London. So... I don't like it. Where I live is middle class and nice. But like all major cities, 10 minutes up the road and you're in a mini Somalia.

Found these -

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Toronto

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_groups_in_London

Although this - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:T...ble_minorities_population_characteristics.png - reflects better against London as it doesn't break Whites down any further, as it does above.

I'd say they are pretty similar.

But... Over the last 5 years with the free movement from the European Market, London's ethnicity has rapidly increased. These stats are from 2007. I assume Canada's immigration policy is stricter, and rightly so.

Did I put too much effort in?

Look at Vancouver though, tables of ethinicities. Especially Ethnic origin below.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Vancouver

also:

Vancouver has more interracial couples and less residential segregation than Canada's two largest cities, Toronto and Montreal. In total, 7.2% of married and common-law couples in Greater Vancouver are interracial; double the Canadian average of 3.2%, and higher than in Toronto (6.1%) and Montreal (3.5%).

In the city of Vancouver, 47.1% of the population are members of visible minority groups.[5]

What was strange to me though is that Vancouver has one of the highest Atheist and Agnostic ratio compared to believers. Over 42,2% of residents have declared "no religion" affiliation.

Don't think it means anything. Quebec is predominantly Roman Catholic, but Montreal has the lowest church attendance in all of Canada. Catholicism is linked with national identity here and always has been. The idea of French/Catholic VS. English/British/Anglican. Anyways, I'm just throwing facts out for the sake of it.

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

When I have been to New York, I admit, very few people are actually New Yorkers. But they aren't actually foreigners, they are people from other areas of the USA.

I have just found that London is officially the most linguistically diverse city in the world. Fact. So that adds weight to my theory. I also found out that UNESCO has never labelled any city the most culturally diverse, so no facts to back up any theories. However... Unlike most Americans, I have actually left the continent I was born on, and I do so several times a year.

I also found that the USA's most ethnically diverse city is Sequoia Way. Never heard of it, though.

You did put too much effort in because NYC is the most linguistically diverse city in the world. Experts say there are over 800 languages spoken.

Interesting sidenote, I lived around people who spoke Vlashki, the language the article references in the beginning. It's called Vlashki, and the people are Vlasi, and for some odd reason, Muslims used "Vlasi" as a derogatory term agains the Serbs. Never knew why, didn't bother to look into it.

I can't trust the NYtimes talking about NY. Also the London one is first languages, not languages spoken.

I am still winning.

It's derogatory because Vlasi were mountain-like Slavs, and were seen as savages per se. Now, it obviously means anyone that isn't a Bosnian Muslim, but yeah... It's a crappy insult, like calling a Bosnian a Turk. Like they give a shit, many of them are proud of it. lol

Is there a pocket Flip I can buy somewhere, pull you out when I need historical knowledge? Maybe an Android app? I'd pay for a Mini Flip android app full of tidbits and whatnot.

 

[Pittsey]

SOFI was right, I was wrong.

 

[S O F I]

I need your gmail addy. It does say though that it's only available in the US but if Sandeep is using it, there must be a way around it.

 

[dilla]

Must suck not living in the US. Miss out on all these goodies because it's not available elsewhere.

 

[hotboyee]

Maybe you should have asked to Bartender to dilute some for her so it was right to her? if she didn't appreciate that then aint deserve it.
