"It has the largest Buddhist temple in western hemisphere It has the largest Roman Catholic archdiocese in the country It has the largest Mormon Temple outside of Utah. It has the largest concentration of Scientologists in the nation It has the second-largest Jewish population outside of Israel It is home to the biggest variety of Buddhists in the world It has the third largest concentration of practicing Muslims in the nation"
LA does have even have the most Jews in the U.S., that would be New York. It has the THIRD largest concentration of practicing Muslims in the nation. NY has more and that is something I hate about NY. Seriously, with so many completely wrong things that Cali Water listed why should we buy any of it? Of course we do not see anybody from CA disputing it because it makes CA look more diverse. If I gave out completely wrong facts about NY they would nail me.
You need to go away and learn to read. He DIDN'T say that LA had more Jews than NY. He DIDN'T say that LA had more Muslims than NY. I have questions about a couple of those "facts" but the two you cited were correct YOU were wrong.
All my grandparents came from Russia and I've helped some immigrants. None were like you. Did NY do that to you? That's the stereotype you know. I happen to know it's not true but in your case...
I'd choose to be in NYC. It is a better city for walking or using public transportation. There is so much to see and do there. Yes it is expensive but so is Los Angeles. In NYC you don't even need a car to get around. And in my personal opinion, since I love food, NYC is one of the best places in the world for this. Not to put down LA in that category, but NYC may be a better place for a food lover. I just visited that place in July and I gotta say: New York pizza is pretty tasty
LA passed NY and London as the world’s most religiously pluralist metropolitan region!? Really?!!! Shut. Up. Seriously? Are you for real? Whipeeee!!
Everyone pack your bags and flood out of Heathrow and JFK. We're moving to LA!!!!
So now I'm bs , I even put a source there to back it up. Now go find me a counter example or prove me wrong before you come with you stupid talk. Yeah tell me to shut up when I spit facts.

Apparently you do not know how to read. He said LA has the most Jews outside of Israel which means more than NY. I also never said that he said there are more muslims in LA than NY, I clearly said it has the THIRD most in the country. The less amount of muslims is something I envy about LA actually.
Your grandparents may have been Russian but you are not.

1) Your source is a freaking blog and has no source as to where it got that information.
2) Your source clearly states that LA is home to people from "more than 140 countries." But your source's list says LA has every ethnicity represented in LA but there are over 190 countries in the world. Tell me how LA could have every country represented there. From what I have heard there is only one city in the world with every nationality represented and that is NY. Ethnicity means culture or nationality to this source? If culture is what your source's definition of ethnicity is then NY most definitely has every ethnicity represented in it and not just LA like your source also claims.
At least before you tell someone that they can't read make sure you are actually reading it correctly yourself:
Now you read my post wrong. My post said "LA has the most Jews outside of Israel which means more than NY." Then you said like I read it wrong trying to correct me with "It has the second-largest Jewish population outside of Israel." You can not read either?
"LA HAS THE SECOND LARGEST JEWISH POPULATION OUTSIDE OF ISRAEL." The largest Jewish population in the United States is in New York. So then tell me how LA could have the SECOND LARGEST JEWISH POPULATION OUTSIDE OF ISRAEL.
"LA HAS THE SECOND LARGEST JEWISH POPULATION OUTSIDE OF ISRAEL." The largest Jewish population in the United States is in New York. So then tell me how LA could have the SECOND LARGEST JEWISH POPULATION OUTSIDE OF ISRAEL.
I read that as meaning outside of Israel it has the second highest population of Jews, NYC being number one. NYC has the highest population of Jews outside of Israel, LA has the second highest outside of Israel. Get it now?

A little confusion there I admit it. My being wrong there still does not change the fact that the list is a bogus blog bragging about diversity when it lists about 30 countries with the same culture in southeast Asia saying "LA has the most of this outside of this."

30 SE Asian countries with the same culture? Wow, obviously you don't know about these cultures if you're making that statement. Too bad that diversity in NYC didn't teach u a little more. I'm not saying everything on that list is correct, mainly the first one claiming it's the 2nd largest English-speaking city in the world, I thought that would be NYC and London would be #1, or vice versa. But the point is LA is very diverse overall, more so than you give it credit for, and a lot of different cultures are found there.
