I am incredibly grateful Commonality with a diverse range of people discovered and appreciated through actual real life interactions. Great! Sounds like an obvious approach, but many prefer to keep to whatever they deem 'their own kind' to be. The number of people who actually 'want' to live amongst diverse cultures is relatively low compared to those who don't. The majority of those who have the financial muscle tend to live amongst people who share common cultural heritage with them. Ah, if we are playing Neighbour Top Trumps........the number of people who are truly bothered by living amongst other cultures is relatively low compared to those that aren't. See London for millions of examples. 'Want' is one thing, being 'truly bothered' is another. Not being truly bothered means they get on with it rather than wasting their time worrying about something which doesn't really register. Good on 'em. Big chest and massive boobs [Link]
