So, how ethnically diverse is your neighborhood?

Jews came up with the no wanking rule, not Paul.
Yep. From a Catholic perspective it's seventh commandment.

I live in an area that has some white people, but most westerners live in the other side of the city.  Still, white devils are steadily increasing in number in my neighbourhood.

I dunno, that whole dying and coming back to life thing might make one question silly religious taboos about delicious animals.

Paul had to water everything down to make the new religion palatable to the ham loving unwashed.

It's not really about watering things down, but rather more about rationalizing it.  If you believe in Jesus and the resurrection etc., then the state of your schlong is pretty irrelevant. 

As for eating ham it's also irrelevant, as Matthew 15:11 says, what comes out of one's mouth is what defiles one, and not what goes in.   ;)

Was the juxtaposition with a schlong intentional? :)

Interesting that Vienna doesn't seem to have a single district dominated by migrants; no super-majorities or even simple majority districts.  But every district has a decently-sized migrant group.  Much more..."integrated," I suppose, than the US, for all the talk of Mitteleuropean xenophobia.  Are there neighborhoods within the districts that are akin to migrant ghettos?  There must be some rich neighborhoods that are lily-Weisse, no?

My current neighborhood breakdown:

-- Lots of graduate students; probably half of the group is US white, half assorted foreigners, with students from the Middle East and India/Pakistan most prominent, followed by East Asia.  (Lots of the Chinese students tend to live in on-campus housing, from my experience).  Oh and (less identifiable by sight), lots of W. Europeans -- many conversations going on in German or Italian while I'm going about my business.

-- A potpourri of porkchops -- 2nd and 3rd gen mainland Portuguese, 1st and 2nd gen Azorean, and some 1st and 2nd gen Cap Verdeans; And, by far the biggest these days, 1st gen Brazilians.  The Portuguese and Azoreans are established, the Verdeans and Brazilians are hustling.  The neighborhoods I've been doing work in, across town, have a much bigger Cap Verdean population.

-- Italian- and Irish-American whites who the area (really my adjoining neighborhood rather than mine) has been historically associated with and whose culture has had the biggest/oldest impact.

-- A sprinkle of Dominicans, though nothing like other parts of Boston.

My immediate neighborhood is very diverse:  everyone is an Indian.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

My Municipiality of 12774inhabitants we have 6.88% foreigners. Biggest group are Dutch. In total there live 44 nationalities.
I live in the municipiality which is second with the big incomes in Flanders. In the forrest are big luxury villas.
I live in the village where the regular guys live.
There's also a golf club. So most of the foreigners are Dutch tax evaders, living in Belgium to evade Dutch income tax.
There's also Kebab shop, Chinese restaurant and 2 italian restaurants, run by there respective nationalities.

I noticed that as well at University of Florida: Chinese (and other Asians) loved on-campus housing. The graduate housing was basically all Chinese or Indian.
