If you dont try and use these things as excuses,anyone can live a great life in America. I wish more would try it. It starts with a strong family unit and EDUCATION. Its not just to be given to anyone.

I agree with this.

So one event 15 years ago is a means to judge a nations character? I'm certain you could find something equally disgusting in Europe.

If we are pointing to a single isolated indecent to which we are using to "judge a nation's character," I'd say, yeah.

I would guess its gypsies that are hated. They are a completely different ethnic group even though they are called Romanis and many live in Romania.


No, it's seriously Romanians, not Roma.

That's because the Walloons and the Flemish are too busy hating each other.

But yeah, Belgium is probably the most ethnically diverse place I've visited.

When one considers the magnitude of the minority population in America, I don't think there's any doubt that America is the most minority-friendly nation on Earth. Not perfect by any means, and for that matter not all minorities are angels, either, but imo America comes out on top in this area.

I see where some people are mentioning countries like Holland and Belgium, but what is the demographic makeup of these countries. They're probably 90% white, so it's a totally different dynamic.

Now, will America ever get get credit for being the most minority-friendly country in the world? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Too much money to be made out of exacerbating and exaggerating mostly non-existent "problems"

you'd call these areas diverse?

and don't tell me that they're friendly b/c of their culture or economic backdrop. Unless real demographic and ethnic diversity exists already, minority friendliness is irrelevant

No. I was replying to the OP which was about being minority friendly. I do think the U.S. is towards the top of the list though.

This is silly. A country is perfectly capable of treating 40% of its population like shite, or 1% of its population well.

What? They barely even let minorities enter their country. Thes countries do everything they can to stay as homogeneous as possible. Im not saying they treat minorities badly, but they arent inviting them in either
