You can hardly expect countries that have been the object of mass immigration for only a couple of decades -- by contrast with the US, Canada, Australia, NZ, Argentina, etc. -- to have quite the same variety. That may come with time.

(Also, why would you take away London? Then better take away NY, LA, etc.)
London is not not reflective of the UK as a whole. If you only knew the UK from London, you would assume we are a vibrant, multi-cultural and cosmopolitan society. We're not. We're largely homogenous, divided and suspicious of the "other" communities. And while the US may be divided and even more bigoted than we are, you can hardly call it homogenous.


Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
