America is nowhere near the most diverse country.
Not even in the top 50...
In what sense?
I would be interested in hearing of any country with the sheer volume of immigrants that the US has from every continent. We have migrants from every European nation, africa (including modern african culture, not just the results of the slave trade and imancipation), asian immigrants, including China, Japan, Veitnamese, Indian, even indigenous peoples as far as Oceania. And every culture is represented in our own, much to the dismay of those that believe our great works came solely from white hands. Our democracy is founded on a melting pot of ideas and inputs, not a euro-centric empire graciously allowing "lesser men" in it's borders.
Probably operating on Bruno logic. "Africa is full of minorities" level of thinking.
Read the wiki link above. And travel.
That's mostly true for big cities and the coasts, but Midwest is very white.
Wikipedia's page on ethnic diversity ranks the USA at #90 out of 215 countries.
Those are from 2003. Here's some more up to date data (with spreadsheets!): https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/most-racially-diverse-countries
USA is still placed at #90, but the top looks a bit different
It looks like the States is still one of more diverse of the 1st world countries. So I guess that's something. It's tough to beat Africa at that statistic
It's funny because I believe it's Russia that's the most diverse country in the world (in terms of "ethnicities"), mainly because it's so fucking huge
Also, even diverse places in the US are quite segregated.
It depends on if you are speaking about ethnicity, the concept of race, or the diversity of genetics. I guess it also depends if you are talking about the percent of the total population, or just the total amount of ethnic groups living in the state.
America may be racially diverse, or have a large number of different ethnicities living in the country. But when it comes to ethnic and genetic diversity, it's pretty hard to beat just about any country in Africa.
It absolutely is. Wtf are you on
