This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Majority white, with a chunk of Hispanic and a small dash of Asian and African...

Is the US really the "most diverse"? Seems like Canada has a better mix or even somewhere in Europe?

Not sure where you'd get that idea...

Black population is not that far off from Hispanic (18 vs 12%) and white is barely a majority.

Canada is much more dominantly white (70% vs 56%) with lower representation of every other group compared to US. Everywhere in Europe is much higher than that (80+%).

Of course all this is based on coarse Western racial categories, if you look at individual ethnicities then it's gotta be India or somewhere in Africa.

Papua New Guinea is apparently the most diverse. Thousands of ethnicities, most of which are less that 1% of the population.

Oh, yeah, I've heard that before now that you mention it

You'll find the most diverse countries in Africa. IIRC USA falls somewhere on two thirds towards more diverse.
