https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_ranked_by_ethnic_and_cultural_diversity_level https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_ranked_by_... Check out the list based on Alesina’s analysis. Or go to Sweden. In the younger population groups, muslims are now are huge minority.

That index lists Canada as more diverse than the US, which is definitely false having been to both. Online sources suggest about 30% of Stockholm is non-Swedish, and most of those people are European. New York and Chicago are only about 30-35% European descent, and that’s mixed between Irish, German, Swedish, English, etc.

  English, German, Irish, swedish descent = Christian, white population, all speaking English as a first language, all from similar cultures. It’s way more diverse in Sweden. I lived in NYC, and have travelled a lot in Sweden. Nowadays, large Swedish cities are much more diverse.

    Even if you lump all the european people together, the fact remains that Stockholm is probably 80% European and New York City is less than 30% European.

      But NYC’ black or latino population is (mainly) Christian and mainly speaks Englsh

  Canada ranks highly on these lists partly because they have a large population group that speaks a second national language and were relatively serious about independence. For whatever reason that objective "diversity" doesn't seem diverse to some people. They also seem to have more but smaller (as a percentage of the total) ethnic groups than the US. Again, while mathematically more diverse than a big chunk of African or Latin-Americans, people seem to view this as less diverse.
