These countries arent diverse thats why i didnt put them up their compared to the other countries listed same for singapore
Malaysia and Israel are diverse in a way. There are a lot of Indians, Chinese, Filipinos, Indonesians, Nepalese, Malay, etc. in Malaysia
For Israel, the thing that a lot of people fail to understand is that not all Jews come from Europe. There are a lot of Jews from countries you would not think of if you didn't know the history.
There are still probably a little bit of people there who are Egyptian, Tunisian, Libyan, Jordanian, and Lebanese. This is not then counting all the European ones from say Poland (1.25 million), Russia (1+ million), Germany (who knows, a lot), France(also a lot), Italy (80,000), Hungary, Austria, etc etc. People in Israel are a lot more than a bunch of white european jews. There are a lot of them there from various North African, Middle Eastern, and Central Asian countries as well. Then you have Palestinians who have been there for a long, long time.
You may not think of it as diverse, but once you learn the history, you realize that it's a lot more diverse there than people think.
The US is made up of a diverse group of people who have brought their multiple cultures to share together within a melting pot. Canada wrongly promotes multiculturalism, which is a bad thing because it promotes segregation not integration. THE US more encourages blending new cultures with the existing culture, while Canada encourages retaining new cultures, which separate from the existing. This is why the US has more benefited from diversity than Canada.
Also, every major US city is diverse.
The US blending of cultures creates more sub-cultures therefore more diversity. We can see the results in U.S. cuisine , for example, such as Tex-Mex, Creole or lately, Korean Taco . You can create more diversity with integration like the U.S as opposed to segregation like other countries (unchanging constant number of cultures etc...).
I can't believe that the UK and Canada have more votes than a country like Venezuela. The former two are still mostly just white, with some East Asians, SE Asians, and Caribbean/African blacks thrown in. Venezuela has a large white minority (Spanish, Canarian, Italian, French, etc), blacks, mestizos, natives, Arabs, Jews. Not to mention that people of these different groups have been mixing for a while. Overall though Brazil and the US are the most diverse.
Have you been to London, Birmingham, Leicester, Wolverhampton? Students from around the world and residents from Pakistan, Poland, France, India, Sri Lanka, Jamaica, Africa, etc, etc, etc.

Never said the countries arent diverse, just not as diverse as the ones listed
I know what you mean, but Israel is up there in reality.
No its not it cant compare to countries like america where there major cities like NYC, los angeles, chicago, houston in fact all the major cities which have russians, hungarians, italians,armenians, indians, mexicans, blacks, brazilians, asians, arabics, puerto ricans....actually every country and its not just a little bit its like half and half same for toronto and even sydney.
I mentioned United Arab Emeriates due to the following:
Asian countries, including Afghanistan, China, Iran, Korea, Philippines, Thailand but excluding India, Pakistan, Bangladesh - 1 million (Gulf News 07 October 2009).
Bangladesh - 500,000 (Gulf News 07 October 2009). About 700,000 Bangladeshis living in the UAE (Gulf News 27 August 2012).
Britain - about 100,000 British residents in the UAE (Gulf News 10 November 2012).
Canada - 25,000 Canadians live in the UAE, 200 Canadian companies operate in the UAE (UAE Ambassador to Canada statement reported by Reuters 29 Dec 2010).
China - 200,000 Chinese expatriates in the UAE according to the Chinese Embassy in Abu Dhabi (reported 24 August 2011).
Finland - about 900 Finns living in the UAE (24 March 2010, embassy website information).
Greece - estimate of 3,500-4,000 by Hrach Kalsahakian, founder of the website Emirates Greeks (The National 03 March 2012).
India - 1.75 million residents (Gulf News 07 October 2009).
Italy - about 4,000 residents according to Gianluca Capelli Bigazzi, press attache at the Italian embassy in Abu Dhabi. He appeared to refer to the UAE but it's possible he meant just Abu Dhabi (The National 03 March 2012). Italy - about 4,000 Italians live in the UAE (The National 03 June 2012).
Japan - about 3,500 Japanese living in the UAE, about 300 Japanese companies (Etihad press release 22 Aug 2012)
Krygyz Republic - about 3,000 Kyrgyzstan nationals living in the UAE (FlyDubai press release 10 January 2012).
Pakistan - 1.25 million (Gulf News 07 October 2009).
Philippines - about 600,000 Filipinos live in the UAE according to an HSBC survey of the friendliest countries to live in for expats (the UAE came last), reported by Forbes 06 January 2012.
Russia - about 25,000 Russians live in the UAE, about 400 Russian-UAE joint venture companies (WAM 23 Oct 2012).
Western expatriates, including Australia, Europe, Africa, Latin America - 500,000 (Gulf News 07 October 2009). Population of UAE
The expats outnumber the locals in that country. Yet the expats are not citizens of the country.
No its not it cant compare to countries like america where there major cities like NYC, los angeles, chicago, houston in fact all the major cities which have russians, hungarians, italians,armenians, indians, mexicans, blacks, brazilians, asians, arabics, puerto ricans....actually every country and its not just a little bit its like half and half same for toronto and even sydney.
No, you can't compare it to the US, but if you really think Israel is not diverse and doesn't even deserve to be talked about,t hen frankly you do not know your ****. A lot of people aren't aware of any of the history and who's actually living in Israel. Most people within western culture seem to think that Jews are just a bunch of white Europeans/Russians. Many are not aware that there are also many Jews from North African countries as well as Arabic/Persian countries. The area is full of them as well as the Palestinians (just as many Palestinians there as non Palestinians..and still some Palestinian Jews who are alive somewhere) who were there before, and non jews who decided to live in Israel for whatever reason.
Here are apparently more up to date numbers roughly of just people with Jewish ancestry. Keep in mind the entire population of Israel is between 8 and 10 million:
Russian - 1.015 million
Moroccan - 800,000
Iraqi - 400,000
Polish - 400,000
Romanian - 350,000
Yemeni - 300,000
Irani - 236,000
Algerian/Tunisian - 225,000
German - 160,000
Turkish - 150,000
Libyan - 135,000
Egyptian - 110,000
Latin American - 110,000
Bulgarian/Greek - 100,000
Indian/Pakistani - 75,000
Hungarian - 65,000
Czech - 65,000
South African - 20,000
There are also 4 million people in the Palestinian territories, about 40,000 African refugees in Tel Aviv and surrounding areas, about 120,000 Druze people in Israel, over 7000 Maronites. There are also around 300,000 foreign workers from countries like Thailand, Philippines, etc there.
If you really don't think Israel deserves to be talked about after knowing any of this, then you are blinded.

Yes but they're all culturally Hispanic.
If you wanna talk Latin America, I'd put Jamaica ahead. It has Chinese, Indians, Europeans.etc along with African descended Jamaicans.
