You are being completely misleading. Of the foreign-born in Nordic countries, most are white. The black and Hispanic population are almost nonexistent. Canada also has a very small percentage of blacks and Hispanics.
- dalke 14y agoHow very odd. What difference does that make? Is there some intrinsic tie between a (white) Iraqi or (white) Irani and a (white) Swede which does not exist between a (Hispanic) Mexican and (white) American? I thought the immigration rate of blacks to the US were rather low, so what point are you trying to make there? Shouldn't you also include the First Nations peoples in Canada, and the Native Americans in the US? And as for Canada ... Canada has a high Asian immigrant population. Pulling up a 2006 report: > Among the more than 1.1 million recent immigrants who arrived between 2001 and 2006, almost 6 in 10 (58.3%) were born in Asian countries, including the Middle East. ... The share of recent immigrants born in Asia (including the Middle East) had increased steadily since the late 1970s. But in 2006, the share (58.3%) was virtually unchanged from 59.4% in 2001. Granted, the US classifies people from the Middle East as "white", but to outright ignore the significant immigration from the Far East into Canada makes your objection weak.
