Canada is 90+% White, 3% Asian, 2% Black.
USA is 74% White, 12% Black, 4.4% Asian, 1% American Indian, 6% other race, and 2% multi-race (Each of the above categories includes people who identify their ethnicity as Hispanic or Latino.)
The question is what do you call multicultural? You need to stop watching those liberal networks and look at the real world.

A trip to downtown anywhere USA will show you what multi-cultural really is.

Montreal is 78% white
New York City is 37% white, 28% black, 27% hispanic, 10% asian.
So, again let me ask you, what is your definition of multi-cultural? and why is Cannda concerned with our multi-culturalism when they are one of the least multi-cultural nations in the world and the USA is the most multi-cultural. Stop watching the liberal media and look at the real world. Soon you will convince yourself that you have decent healthcare up there and not really dying while waiting for a chance to see a doctor.

Yes so those stats you posted would not be precise for Vancouver, Montreal and Toronto. Metropolitans For Canada at least those are the three main cities, of course Port Moody, Red Deer, AB. Trois-Riviere, QC...its a different story.

I didn't realize all white people came from the same country and had the same cultural background

So now we have multi-cultural defined by a Canadian. Thats all I was trying to get to, so in Canada diversity means different kinds of white people and in the USA it means different kinds of people. Perhaps now we can find out why Canada is worried about the USA's multi-cultural atmosphere, that is a lack of different kinds of white people.

Actually thats not what I said. I find it insulting that you assumed since many Canadians have the same skin colour that we are all the same. That's a pretty ignorant comment. Do a little statistical research and you will find that Canada is one of the most diverse nations in the world.

Here is what you said Nobody misquoted you.
I did do some research and Canada is 90+% White, 3% Asian, 2% Black. I fail to see how that makes you the most diverse nation in the world nor do I see that as a good background for Canada to complain about the multi-cultralism of the US. I was baffled why a Canadian would come on here to make such a statement but now that I know how you guys(see your post) define multi-culturalism then I understood. Canadians hate the USA and will use anything they can to show their contempt.

Not all white people are culturally the same. Just because 90% of us have the same skin colour, does not mean we are all a part of the same culture. Culture is more than the colour of your skin. A white person in Britain may not have the same cultural background as a white person in France, for example.

I am jumping in the middle of this, but if you go off a different lifestyle and neighborhood etc... no one can really link to any race for that matter.... really the definition of white, black, asian, etc... is widely used across the world... there are some controversial brackets that some races fall under. think of it this way... do you say an asian is only chinese? or do you count japan, thailand, etc..

You can't just say since 10%, for example, are Asian in one country is more diverse than a country with 5% Asian population. The first country could be 9.9% Chinese, and .1% could be from Vietnam. The other country with a 5% Asian population could be 1% Chinese, 1% Vietnamese, 1% Japanese, 1% Korean and 1% Indonesian. You tell me which one is more diverse.
There's more to diversity than just White, Black, Asian, other.

were splitting hairs here.... where does it stop from there? regions of china? tongue dialects? regions of vietnam? the census bureau is looking for the universally accepted groups that walk the earth... I agree with what you are saying too, but to me, statistics of this nature are just for fun anyways...

Sure someone said this in this long ass thread but..
We are in America. I expect you to speak english.
If I went to another country, I know it is expected of me to speak the language of that country. Im not gonna walk in and be pissed everyone is speaking a different language. You are in their country, speak their language.
I get pretty pissed when a mexican tells me at work, "No hablo engles"
You know what? I don't speak spanish and im not even gonna attempt to talk to you..u are in America, speak english.

That's just a double standard on white people. I am in no way racist or against black people, but I cannot stand having to cater to other people and watch every word I say in fear of offending someone.
People use race as a way of describing people for all other things. When you say black people are athletic then it is perfectly fine. You don't hear no one saying you must only call them a good athlete. But, if you mention their race in connection with something bad Al and Jesse jump right on it. The truth is it is just a natural way of describing someone.
If I am asked about a situation, I am going to give as much information as possible. I am not going to say so and so was selling drugs. I will say it was a black male. Or, if it is a white person, then I will say it is a white, female, etc. I give everybody an equal chance.
But, trying to say white people make an extra effort to throw race in is ridiculous. It is just a normal thing to do in describing someone. You can't help, but notice their race. Just like you're also gonna mention their sex or their age or height or whatever else.
The only racist thing is this whole hoopla society has created. Affirmative action and all that. That's what is truly racist. I mean if you wanted to be truly equal and say I am not going to use race as any factor whatsoever, then the question shouldn't even be brought up in college admissions or job employment. Now, when white people are the minority in a few years, what will happen then? Are we going to change it and make it affirmative action for white people? Well, like I just said even though this would obviously benefit me since I'm white, I would still be completely against it, because if you want to be truly equal you shouldn't consider race at all in your decision.
And I am also very libertarian, and for this matter I believe local governments should have self control of their own communities. I am completely against federal government. I think everyone should be able to live how they want. I live in a very multicultural area and I like it like that. But, if another place doesn't want multiculturalism, they should not be forced to adopt it. That is just wrong.Last edited by bruteman; 03-11-2008 at 04:48 AM.

Diversity is a fact of life in America these days. The problem is people fear anything/anyone who is different than themselves. Treat everyone the way you would want to be treated and we will all be ok.
