Speaking generally, % foreign born is heavily correlated with major cities. There aren't many foreign-born in villages in Germany, France or the UK.
This has got absolutely nothing to do with the point I was making?

Eastern European countries such as... and Ukraine.
Depends on the region. Diversity in rural areas is minimal, and in large cities diversity is very strong. Specifically in Kharkiv there are three large communities- Vietnamese, Blacks from Africa and Muslim Arabs from the Medical University. Recently, some thousands immigrants comes from Central Asia and China. The total number of students-foreigners about 30000, the total number of nonSlavs more than 100 000. But Kharkiv is total leader in Ukraine on the amount of foreigners, in other cities a situation is more modest.

Specifically on racism - it may sound strange, but fewer problems with blacks from Africa, and most problems - with Arab Muslims. Attitude to Vietnameses are neutral, but they are less integrated.

I wouldn't be surprised if it would be helpful if the U.S. and Americans would stop thinking in terms of races.
Good luck with that.

There's a lot of power, money and influence to be gained by the race hustlers.

It completely contradicts your point. So yeah, it has everything to do with your previous statement.

Really? And how exactly does it 'contradict my point'??? Here is what I said again:-


You may be right but you to seem to have fallen into the category of people that think only London and Paris are racially diverse in the UK and France respectively which is not the case.


I fail to see how what you said about Frankfurt and villages contradicts this exactly? Unless you actually believe either that 1. London and Paris are the ONLY towns and cities in the whole of the UK and France or that 2. You actually believe that the other cities in both countries are not diverse (both of which are nonsense).

The are many areas in the UK where 95-99% are ethnic british, you hardly find areas like that in Netherlands or Even in Western Germany or flanders (dutch speaking belgium).

Are you sure? A typical village in Western Germany will be almost 100% ethnic German. The only diversity will be between Catholics and Lutherans.

Obviously big cities in Western Germany are VERY diverse, but the villages have barely any diversity. They were probably more diverse before WW2, when these villages would have Jews, Gypsies and the like. My father's village, which has no diversity now, still has a Jewish cemetery outside of town. It's only 60 km or so west of Frankfurt.

Then you havent been to many areas of germany. I see foreigners in every corner. maybe if you count villages with 500 people, but any place with 10.000 + people in germany is now packed with people with non-german background.
