I'm sorry but this polling is definitely biased. Sure the States have people from every corner of the planet, but the great majority is still European and Northern European more so. Another point is, americans for the most part aren't all that mixed, maybe in the future but its happening very slowly, it's a pot but not melting. Canada is just the same but as far as diversification, it's even further behind a few years. In general Latin America is a lot more diverse, there are people from every corner of the globe just like the USA but in a more even proportion and the mixing of races is far far far far more present because it has been happening all along, starting centuries ago. The USA and Canada might have people from all over, but who doesn't in this age of busy air travel? Brazil has people from all over who have being mixing amongst each other for all its history.
Always is biased lol. Americans tend to think they are always right. USA is up there but not by that margin. London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Paris, Amsterdam, Tolouse, Rotterdam, Brussels etc - that region, which is tiny by most actual countries standards, is the most diverse region imo. Country? Probally Brazil, USA or South Africa.

I have to agree with you guys on this one america is not very diverse but when it comes to cities like NYC, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Fransico, DC, Miami, Houston, San anotnio, Philadelphia we are in the very top
Brazil is the biggest diverse country in the world. In addition as one of the previous posters have stated, intermarriage has been (especially a century ago) far more common there than America

You do realize that you could show a bunch of people from difference ethnicities from the United States right? I don't see why you just posted a bunch of pictures of different people when you could do the same for most countries. Brazil is very diverse, but it comes in second place, following the US.
The USA is first in this regard. In terms of sheer sizes, the US comes on top.
The largest (and most diverse) white population outside of Europe. Unlike Canada and Australia, the AMerican white population has large groups from all over the European Continent, from the Portuguese-Americans in New England, to the Polish-Americans in Chicago, to the Scandinavian-Americans in North Dakota, to the French and Spaniard-Americans in the southern midwest.
The second-largest (yet most diverse) black population outside of Africa. Besides the west-african slaves that were brought to the US centuries ago (Mostly from Nigeria, the Congo, Angola, Ghana, and Togo), we have many refugees and East African Immigrants. Somali-Americans are a huge group in Minneapolis/Twin Cities. Washington DC/ DMV area has many kenyans, ethiopians, and MANY african refugees that have become citizens. The Northeast had many Cape Verdean and Angolan-Americans.
The Latino population is a catch-all term for people from the Spanish-speaking Americas, of them the US has by far the largest share of their immigrants. Not just Mexico, but all the way down to Argentina, who live mostly in Florida and California.
The Asian population is the fastest growing in the United States, and is also a catch-all term.
All these people come together in a country with more than 310 MILLION people, with each group large enough to be more than a negligible. And the USA is only becoming more mixed and diverse, faster than once thought, in fact.
Anyone who doesn't think the US is the most diverse country in the (developed) world is lying to themselves. Yes, Canada has three super diverse cities, but all three of those TOGETHER can't match NYC's diversity, for example.
London is ONE city, and despite being super diverse, the UK is 92% white, and overwhelmingly british.
The next country in terms of diversity would be Brazil, and then probably South Africa or Turkey, depending.

I just put Brazil due to its history. As a previous poster has stated intermarriage was far more common in the beginnings and colonial Brazil to the 1960s (unlike the US) and continued until today. In addition there are far more mixed people in Brazil today than America. Intermarriage in the US is only recently become much more common and the highest in history. A large majority of Brazilians are mixed race today. The US despite the very high number and ever increasing number of non whites that live there is alot more white than Brazil.
