Mind naming some ?
Europe is relatively homogeneous ethnically and racially compared to the US. The exception could be largest metropolitan areas, but even there I'd say US is more heterogeneous.
Not saying anything in support of arguments related to this just saying I don't know what plenty of places you'd compare to US.
- mikepurvis 6y agoThis seems like a good place to start: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_ranked_by_ethnic_and_cultural_diversity_level https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_ranked_by_et... Spain is the obvious one that stands out.
- rubber_duck 6y agoSpain is a pretty terrible example of "great public cooperation between different groups" - do you know anything about it's history or the situation with Basque ? Also it's not really a good example of efficient public projects or a well functioning state compared more developed EU countries or the US.
