The London Borough of Brent is:

18.6% Indian
18% White British
14.3% Other White
7.8% Black African
7.6% Black Caribbean
4.6% Pakistani
4% White Irish
3.7% Arab
1% Chinese
0.6% Bangladeshi

And others that don't have their own Cenus designation.

Did you notice any particular group that stood out?

You're just drunk on power tonight bro! I even translated it to English underneath Besides it's nice of you having not removed it. I'll try and write 100 % in English tomorrow, just like all members understood everything I wrote today

Besides that ghetto slang I wrote is so badly spelled and pronounced it can't even be considered Swedish lol!

Nope. That's diverse, it appears to have a white plurality if you tack together all the white groups, though that may not make sense there. You can find a few pockets of NYC that come close, though with different groups. Including, ironically, the neighborhood Donald Trump grew up in. That part of Queens has blacks from the West Indians and West Indians who are ethnically Indian. An Indian friend of mine posted a photo of small cute blue house his family there as a young child but then they moved to a giant house with a big lawn in central Jersey. London in general seems to have less residential segregation than New York City and perhaps US immigrant cities in general.

I think this is true. There is still self-segregation, but it doesn't appear to be as strong as American cities, and probably not as strong as continental European cities either.

This is a neat article on Brooklyn neighborhoods, many of which are rather self-segragated. A friend of mine used to live in Sunset Park, which is about 85% immigrant; with the hispanics in the west half and Chinese in the eastern half. It was a functional as a neighborhood, but after a couple years got tired of it; felt a bit too foreign, nothing really catered for more American tastes and yes, he wanted a little bit of a "hipster" scene. Apparently there's still a few Norwegian immigrants left in Sunset Park. So 60 years ago, you would heard people speaking Norwegian in public there.

The US has very little Muslim enclaves, perhaps because the Muslim population is diverse [not from one country in particular].

There is one borough in London where Islam is the largest religion.

Well Michigan has a few, Hammtrack, Michigan is a city that's majority Muslim [it's surrounded by Detroit on all sides, by for some reason is a separate city]. Dearborn, where Ford is headquartered, is close to majority Muslim. Right-wingers descend on Dearborn and annoy the locals and then the city government discourages then, they complain about being censored.
