I'm not very big on pan-Europeanism, though I used to be. I identify with and love Ukraine above all else.

Most immigration from Africa and Middle East (including Northern/Muslim South Asia) tends to lead to settlement in large urban cities, hence most Muslims and Blacks are concentrated in cities like Belgium, London or Paris.

Hindu Asians and East Asians tend to spread out more into the towns and villages, but they are far fewer in number compared to Muslims or Blacks.

This means that most Western Europeans will never spend much time around Muslims or Blacks.

Most Europeans themselves live in bigger cities as well, so many of them do have contact with such minorities. But of course it is nothing like Atlanta or Istanbul.

Than again, many immigrants are white as well, so their arrival does not change much about the racial makeup of Europe.

I wish Europe were less white, I really appreciate going to more exotic countries such as Brazil. I feel good in such colorful societies.

Immigrants in the U.S. get assimilated very fast, they quickly quit their native culture. Not sure why they lost their roots so fast, maybe brainwashed by patriotism indoctrination?

Ideally that is exactly what you want. Regardless of ethnicity and race all the people in town should at least share a common culture or some sort of cultural rally point. Multi-ethnic and mono-cultural is stable. Multi-cultural and multi-ethnic is unstable if it goes unchecked for too long. When you have several groups living in close proximity that do not share any cultural overlap they will eventually begin to resent and distrust each other. Then violence.

I don't really care because I don't live in Africa or Asia. Apart from that, Asia and Africa are much more diverse than Europe to begin with. I simply like being around colorful people, which is also why I prefer to live in bigger cities. I could simply not imagine living in a European small town anymore, where everyone looks the same, speaks the same dialect, etc. I want to feel like the whole world is right around the corner

My neighbourhood is pretty multicultural. Aside from Italians, there are chinese, pakistanis, moroccans and people from eastern europe (mainly ukraine and Moldova). Africans tend to live in an area between my neighborhood and downtown.

Some other neighborhoods are more multicultural while others tend to be predominantly italian.

Basically you like being around people of a variety of ethnicities because it makes YOU feel like you are a more open minded person. I can surround myself with a room full of paintings and sculptures it doesn't make me an artist. I would hope people would delight in being surrounded by a greater diversity of ideas, concepts, and philosophies. Not simply various hues of skin color.

No. I have always had a certain aversion against tribalism, patriotism, racism, etc., all those -isms that separate people.
I grew up in a town where there were no minorities, yet. I was so happy when I moved away and went abroad. I simply never liked the culture I am from. Even aesthetically I have always felt drawn to dark women for instance

Yes, we have many areas still without seeing any blacks etc. What immigrants don't always remember, it is kind of shock. Not necessarily negative shock. But sometimes people could stare a black person mouth open just because he or she could be first one alive front of that cave dude..

I was staring a black student girl at school where our dance classes are kept at night time. She wore white and pastel colors and very doll like clothes with frill skirt. I was staring mainly because those colors were shining against her skin beautifully.

Apparently she was thinking I am a racist or something... I apparently looked like this

I don't know why being white should be a crime. We are white, so what, I hope we reproduce and keep up white population just because everyone should exist, blacks, whites and everything between

It is a climate thingy, firstly...
