Many do not care for that, how it does not make any difference.

What?

[67Irralphaisa]

Depends. I find it living in a majority white-American neighborhood quite pleasant people seem more polite and everything is much more organized and tranquil then let say a multi ethnic "ghetto" neighborhoods. But I also like being around other ethnic group such as south asians, east asians, hispanics who seem to be attracted to living a normal civilize life with the rest of us and at the same time it creates variety in a majority white-American society.

[Arrecteve]

I don't care if where I live is mono-ethnic or multi-ethnic, I just care if the people are nice.

Honestly when I look for places to live, I look at the following criteria:

Job opportunities
Cost of living
Cleanliness
Crime rate
Hospitals
Shopping
Things to do (clubs, festivals, museums, art galleries, recreational facilities, parks, etc)

Demographics is not on that list.

[Qvqnubpj]

Foreign population on a low level. I'd like to live in a state with sensible immigration policies; a country- and skill-based quota system, a complete ban on family reunification, and so on. I don't mind seeing uncommon faces or coming into contact with foreign cultures, but they must not be allowed to form durable communities in their host country. Immigration should be limited, diverse and selective. With all our knowledge of psychology and sociology, Western governments still can't seem to figure out how to engineer policies that aren't suicidal and/or short-sighted.

Yes, imagine that, going to the Netherlands and seeing Dutch people. The horror.

Very funny i do not have a problem with it i am half dutch, but it is a different scene, which i am not used to. I just recently moved here a month ago so yeah i moss the more multi ethnic culture. Cant a girl miss her recent former home :-p but like i said it depends on which city you are in

[Vkowefek]

I can not be against the real trendy, then the answer is to use your imagination. But was it about mono-ethnic or mono-racial?

My country was never ever 100% mono-ethnic some day. At least in the last 1000 years.

I live in a country very diverse, ethnically speaking.. sometimes it bothers me that the only region with general traits of culture that I identify myself with is the South, (Rio Grande do Sul - Osório lives in my heart hehehe, Santa Catarina e Paraná), in other hand I find amazing the fact that Brazil is so diverse and I can see different cultural manifestations all over the place!!

Totally mono-ethnic societies are mostly an imagined ideal of some far right ethnic nationalists. But 100 years back most European countries were much closer to a mono-ethnic society than today. Poland f.e. still is very homogenus.

[DP5Ups8o]

Well Poland have ethnic minorities; Germans, Tatar, Lithuanians or Gypsies.

[sportlife]

^^You're being very nit picky there. The only ones that are a visible minority are the Gypsies and they're not so many I think.

The problem there is class not ethnicity/race. I'm sure living in a multi-ethnic upper middle class/upper class neighborhood is as enjoyable as a homogeneous counter-part of the same class(es).

That's just my assumption, I never lived in a multi-ethnic upper middle class neighborhood, most tend to be majority white.

Maybe you've even barely played its title -- multi-ethnic =/= multi-racial. The only mono-ethnic European state in essence, it's the Iceland. Where national minorities hadn't ever existed since its foundation. Germany always had national minorities, e.g the Danes in Slesvig-Holstein or the Sorbians in Saxonia.

On the topic -- I would not have any problem to live in a relatively multi-ethnic society unless they were predominantly all northern Europeans. At least here in the last centuries we've dealt with a constructive immigration of others northern European ethnicities as lived/living with them in a very natural way (mostly Germans, one of most numerous group that in last 400 years have moved in large numbers for our society, being of easy assimilation into our ethnos). -- Well a plenty of Swedes may have Danish, Finnish or German ancestors as having currently Norwegians cousins etc. No bid deal! In my family I have relatives who identify themselves as Swedes and others as Danes.

For a multi-racial society I'm not fond of it. I find so destructive as was a disaster for my hometown in the last two decades I would not want to see it for the rest of my country..

[FjFHQLJQ]

I can handle different ethnicities, it is different religions/cultures that try to live side by side that is the problem for me. I have no problem with Western Asians, but I have problem with some religio-cultural aspects from Western Asia.

I'm non-religious.

[AgindyMinnife]

That totally depends on the ethnicity.

Sicily is 98% Sicilian, but we're a diverse enough bunch to keep things interesting.

I think multiculturalism is a good thing depending on the country and whether or not the immigrants contribute to or damage the moral and cultural fiber of the host nation.

[boffincash]

I like diversity in my women. So my choice is obvious

I go with this verdict, I too am up for diversity and not a one singled society because that probably becomes so boring afterwards.

[Riprincattiva]

Nah. The food wouldn't be as good.

[xanonlinexan]

Kebabs!

[TypeTeasiaDer]

The title say it. Would you want to live in a mono-ethnic society or rather in one with a foreign population on a low level or in a full scale multi-ethnic one?

I'll take this idea one step further and say that Adi had nice ideas about making candles.

[icerrelmCam]

Umm it depends, I wouldn't mind if I lived with blacks or native americans, but I wouldn't like to live with muslim people, to be honest (I could stand it if they're 'westernized') xD

[Rwujnezq]

Kebabs!

Kebabs are delicious, arent they?
