im sorry in real life this is the other way around.

Reader comment on item: Europe vs. America
in response to reader comment: European cultural chauvinism vs. American multiculturalism

Submitted by ali (Netherlands), Oct 31, 2008 at 12:44

I lived in both U.S. (long beach) and europe (Einhoven, The Netherlands an Huy Belgium).

I must say that the Etnic or immigrant tolerance in Europe is way more developed than in the U.S.

I Had a good time in the U.S. But was terribly surprised by the high rate of discrimination nearly everywhere.(New York was an exeption)And there was not much ethnic diversity mainly afro- americans asians(korea japan) and mexicans.. By the way, The most ethnic diverse countrys to my knowing are france germany and holland..

So maybe some european countries (France is a over the top example)have old conservative filosofies and the U.S. very may have a modern liberal philosophy, But in real life it is completly the opposite.
