Yes, white people in different countries in Europe are ethnically diverse. Is that a serious question?
Toronto has people from all over. Croatia, Vietnam, Jamaica, Portugal, Barbados, Italy, Kenya, South Korea, Ukraine, India, etc.

Repped. Not sure if half of these posters actually realize that there are other diverse, stable nations out here.

Exactly. You name the group, you likely can find them in Toronto.

In the U.S., there is so much emphasis on race that it takes away from the recognition of our ethnic diversity. I was blessed to grow up in the D.C. metropolitan area so there is was plenty ethnic diversity around me despite the racial undercurrent. But many other parts of the country don’t have the same environment at all.

Some of that ethnic variety can be found within the USA, but it doesn't always get recognized.

Texas is home to the oldest Polish settlement in the USA, Panna Maria. Alot of people don't even know it exists.

By the way, there is a genre of music called Tejano. It blends the musical traditions of Mexico, Germany, and the Czech Republic (large numbers of Czechs and Germans immigrated to Texas during the 19th century).

Solvang, California, founded by Danish immigrants. It means "sunny field" in Danish. Many Danish moved there from the Midwest to get away from cold winters. There is a replica of The Little Mermaid statue in Solvang, similar to the one in Copenhagen.

Tucker hit the nail on the head the other night on this topic:

The white race is simply losing a share of the whole pie. As the black race did. Oh no, we cant have all the pie to ourselves, its the end of the world!

3. Sorry but I wont be joining you in your tin foil hat bunker. I think the best thing for the US is for the hard left and hard right population to drop to 0%, and then the US will truly be a peaceful, successful place.

4. Get help.
I apologize for the comment.


I do believe the left's rhetoric is, though, very dangerous and hateful. Just look at the Facebook comments for a little while on the article after article on this top. They are quite disturbing.


With that said, I don't think there is room for moderates in America anymore. How many so-called "moderates" do you think voted for Biden - while Biden may have been moderate at one point, every single person he has put in his cabinet are radical far leftists.


Anyways...

Interesting thing - I didn't fill out the census. I am a white-male homeowner, and I live in a very liberal area and don't want this area to get another representative.

I wonder how many people there are like me who boycotted the census? I can't be the only white person who refused to fill it out.

It's patently absurd to say that whites are as ethnically diverse as those of different races, comparatively.

They're not all that different. A white German is more like a white Swede than like a Black Nigerian, for example.

Exactly. There’s far more than is often recognized but again, too much emphasis on race. Yes, Texas has so much of that. Just looked up Panna Maria. Not surprised at its location. There’s also an older German settlement called New Braunfels that’s also closer to San Antonio. It still celebrates its German heritage and has various landmarks. Very nice town. If more emphasis was placed on our ethnic diversity, it would be for the better imho.

Point out where I said anything of the sort. You’re obviously in an ethnic diversity competition - with yourself. The point is that Europe is ethnically diverse. If you’re going to act like there is little to no cultural difference between someone from Italy and someone from Norway, you’re just choosing to be ignorant.

No one is talking about Nigerians. Nigeria is not in Europe.

Whoosh... That's the point going way over your head.
