- ng12 10y agoSingapore is over 75% ethnically Chinese. That's still remarkably homogeneous by US standards.
- gaius 10y agoIt depends what you mean by "diverse". You could say Switzerland is diverse, they speak 3 languages there, but there is an essential Swissness that everyone generally agrees on. I believe the same is true of Japan. Maybe the word I actually wanted was somewhere between homogeneous and harmonious.
- kalleboo 10y agoOver 15% of Singapore's population are non-citizens ("foreign talent"), so whatever they're doing it's not the same as Switzerland
