If you are interested in doing so, you have the opportunity.
You wouldn't if you were living in Kansas.
You seriously believe that London's ethnic and cultural diversity isn't a genuine attraction for many who end up there, nor a genuine asset for the city?
- jdminhbg 17y agoI seriously believe that when people say they want "diversity," what they mean is: 1) People where I currently am aren't like me, so if I go somewhere more 'diverse,' there will be more people like me 2) And the restaurants will be better EDIT: That's meant as a generalization, BTW, not a pop-psych analysis of anyone in the thread.
- crux_ 17y agoI believe (1) may be true for some, but is absolutely false for others. Also, I think it's safe to broaden (2) to mean "creative culture" -- as in not just restaurants, but galleries, plays, music, nightlife, and so on; along with the indirect repercussions of that -- in which case it remains true, but lacks the shallowness you tried to imply.
