I wonder how diverse European cities are compared to North American ones, I already know that there's no city in the world as diverse as Toronto, but the impressive part about the city is not how diverse it is, but how all these different groups just integrate so damn well together, I have never seen anything like this anywhere else, even my fiancee who's from Chicago was shocked to see how diverse and mixed the city was yet the crime rate was so low.

London is the most diversed, it is really diversed, get on the tube train and you will see. Britons, any kind of europeans, any kind of blacks, indians, asians, amerindians, latinos, everyone.
Brusselles, apart from ares of EU offices, is from my observation, mainly locals (Belgians) or north Africa (Maghreb mainly), not many blacks, not many asians, nor indians. Actually most areas are very homogenous (MENA) Amsterdam- more diversed, I liked its diversity much more than Brussels'; in brussels the MENAss seemed to perform very non-european, all that male mustached conservative stock listening to kebab music and smoking shisha, ocassionally some burkas, while in Amsterdam its more like in London- apart from this mentioned you can see very european looking black people, even some MENAs, with dreadlocks, tattoes, nice clothes, on bikes (not a surprise i Ams) in fact very often they look and behave more western than whites. Paris is somewhere in between. I noticed interesting difference between Paris and London. In London, many if not most ethnical minorities (or rather majorities) speak in their native languages, you go down and can hear arabic, chinese, nigerian, german, polish or russian, while in Paris nearly all speak in french, even between themselves. When you see two Africans or Asians in London, they will usually speak their language. In Paris, it would be french. (I am mentioning non-whites, cause I cannot usually and for sure tell apart white french or brit from white foreigner if they speak natively french or english). |
