Top Ten Most Diverse Cities In the World
The City of New York, often called New York City or simply New York, is the most populous city in the United States. New York City is also the most densely populated major city in the United States. The "Capital of the World" is home to so many different cultures. You can hear any language spoken on the street, from Spanish, Chinese and French to Ojibwe, Zulu and Lao.
A city which nearly 40% of it's population is foreign born and over 500 languages are spoken. It is truly the capital of the world.
Actually, I've been to New York and despite its diversity, it's a very racist city.
Diverse city with so many different cultures!
London is the capital and most populous city of England and the United Kingdom. Standing on the River Thames in the south eastern part of the island of Great Britain, London has been a major settlement for two millennia. London is one of the world's most important global cities. It exerts considerable influence upon the arts, commerce, education, entertainment, fashion, finance, healthcare, media, professional services, research and development, tourism and transportation Where I live in London, there is a large Polish community, and I live adjacent to a street with two Polish delis right next to each other. Competition between them is pretty hot. And I have a friend who lives in Southall, which is more commonly called "Little India".
Just to prove how diverse London is, New Malden suburb in greater London (approx 10 miles from Central) and it is not easy to get into town from there. It is also said to have the largest South Korean population in the world outside of Korea which is on the OTHERSIDE OF THE WORLD, and for clarity that is just an example of how diverse the city is.
White British people make up a minority of Londoners - 45%. More than 40% of the city's population were born overseas, and 300 languages are spoken on streets and playgrounds.
Filled with people all over the world, especially former British colonies like Jamaica or Trinidad but a lot of others like Poles and Arabs.
Toronto is the most populous city in Canada, the provincial capital of Ontario, and the centre of the Greater Toronto Area, the most populous metropolitan area in Canada. Toronto is an international centre of business, finance, arts, and culture, and is recognized as one of the most multicultural and cosmopolitan cities in the world. Toronto is Canada's largest city not only with ethnic diversity from over 200 countries but unlike most other cities in the world including the US, Toronto's ethnic minorities (correction ethnic majority) live and work together side by side. They are no really black or Latino neighborhoods. There are little pockets in the city like Little India, China town and Little Italy where initial immigrants settled initially in the cities infancy... but for the most part you will find an Indian family living next to a Greek family next to an Iranian family next to a Korean family etc. Now that's true diversity in harmony!
Statistically speaking. Toronto is the most culturally diverse city in the world. Not only with more than 50% immigrants, but immigrants from more countries and speaking more different languages than any other country in the world. (Yes it's possible for a city to have 40%+ immigrants, but if those immigrants are primarily from 5-10 other countries, that's not diversity.)
This list needs to be higher up. People say New York or LA is more diverse, though in New York and LA, there are only Latinos, Blacks and Whites. Here, you can find languages like Chinese and Korean, German and Russian, Afrikaans and Zulu, Cree and Dene! How can New York or LA compete!?
About 50% is foreign born in Toronto! Vibrant mix of cultures! People from all around the world unlike New York which is mainly Jewish or Latino or Black minorities
Los Angeles, officially the City of Los Angeles and often abbreviated as L.A., is the largest city in California. It has an estimated population of nearly 4 million, and is the second-largest city in the United States, after New York City, and the third-largest city in North America, after Mexico City ...read more. Los Angeles is diverse in so many ways other than just races or languages. It's the richest and the poorest, the prettiest and the ugliest. It has the most stereotypical, annoying people in the world, but it also has some of the coolest people you'll ever meet. There's drug-addicts and health-lovers. These can be found in any city but it's so extreme in Los Angeles. Los Angeles is so big that you can't just call it one city (and Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Venice, Beverly Hills and Calabasas are all actually separate cities, to name a few). LA has all types of landscapes close by: beaches, deserts, valleys, rugged coasts, mountains, pine forests, etc.
Los Angeles is like a giant globe, integrated into may districts with different people and different cultures. It's quite significant to witness the people who are of different background, including the Mexican communities being more prevalent in the city. It's although the worst city to even live in because I suspect some issues with the Homeless people and especially the concern for gangbanging. I appreciate visiting LA because the people are just friendly and generous
I've lived in Venice, Santa Monica and Culver City practically my whole life.
I've also traveled to Canada, Europe and China (including the SARS) and I must say we're the most diverse!
For example, my friend had a wedding at a Korean/Spanish speaking church! How cool is that?
All my friends from around the world want to visit LA at least once in their lives.
LA thrives off its diversity and I hope to welcome more people in the future!
Los Angeles is diverse, as you can find many races here, from Vietnamese, to Armenian, to Ethiopian.

Chicago has been very diverse for 100+ years. The people of the world know a good thing when they see this WCC.
I am Polish but I was born there and 55% of my class was Polish, 25% Latino, 10% Arab, 5% Other Countries, 5% American.

San Francisco, officially the City and County of San Francisco, is a city in, and the cultural, commercial, and financial center of, Northern California. Very diverse. Chinese, Mexicans, Italians, Germans, Greeks and so many more ethnicities have a presence here.
