I live in the 10th district of Vienna, which is the largest, population wise (>10% of Viennese live here), and it's stretching from the inner city to the outskirts. I live closer to the center.
The 10th district has a history of being a workers district, and a focus for immigrants. Austrian statistic has different ways of counting immigrants.
For one, there's the people holding a foreign passport. For Vienna the share is 22.3%.
Next, there's the people who were born abroad. Their share is 31.1%.
Finally, there's the number of people with "migrant background", which counts people born abroad, and people who have at least one parent born abroad: 34.6%.
Most migrants are from (in order): Serbia/Montenegro, Turkey, Germany, Poland, Croatia, Romania, Bosnia-Herzegovina.
You can get an idea how migrants are distributed in Vienna by this map (dated 2010, from the left leaning Der Standard newspaper; it focuses on Turks but has total numbers, too. The white on black number is the district number (1-23), the red number is the absolute number of Turkish people, yellow is percentage of people with Turkish background, blue is total amount of migrants. The map uses the second definition of migrants I listed above).

Anyways, my area of town is pretty diverse. I guess less than half dicussions I hear in the street are not in German but in a Slavic language or Turkish. It's pretty common for supermarket cashiers to talk to customers in Serbian. There's a large number of Turkish bakeries, fast food joints etc. And cafés/bars for ex-yugos. On Friday afernoon, droves of Turkish families are out and about. In my apartment building are Austrians, Germans (me), Turks, Serbs, a black family and a Chinese family.
Most of the posters for events (usually a musician of some sort playing in a bar or something) are either in Turkish or in Serbian/Croatian. And there's been several Turkish language only promotions for cell phone contracts in our district's main shopping street.
And it all works quite well. Most of the people just want to do their thing and live their lives. The youth - well, it doesn't matter if you are Austrian, German or Turkish or Serbian, if you're a jackass teen, you're a jackass teen. I don't think things are as peachy as the left wingers want to make us believe (e.g. some migrant kids are deficient in their German skills when first coming to school - mostly Turks, the Ex-Yugos tend to adapt better and become bilingual, using Serbian/Croatian in their private circles, but having good grasp of German as well), but not as bad as the right wingers want to make us think, either (see comment about Youths above).
In a way it feels a bit like a continuation of the Habsburg days, when Vienna was a melting pot for people from all over the Empire (many "traditional" Viennese names are distinctly Czech or Slovak or Hungarian).
Still, it's pretty noticeable that most cultures don't mix much. Austrians mostly stick with Austrians, Turks with Turks, Serbs with Serbs. Any crossover usually happens through work or school or university. I think that's the one really regrettable part.
Coming from the Holstein countryside, though, from small towns that have little diversity, and dwindling economic relevance (I've seen videos of my old hometowns, and the deterioration is depressing), it feels good to live in a (comparably) vibrant city that grows, constantly changes and attracts people from ll walks of life.
So, how are things in your part of town? :)
My neighborhood is super white. SFG's kids are the darkest folks on the street. There's also a larger-than-average Jewish population around here.
Southwest Portland is not what would be considered one of the most ethnically diverse parts of town.
I am not sure what the statstical breakdown is but Vancouver is a pretty diverse community.
I'm guessing my town is roughly 5% black, 35% hispanic, 10% asian, 50% white. Total guess without looking it up.
I live in downtown Anchorage. The City is barely over 100 years old, heck I live on 10th ave and this was the outskirts of town back when my house was built in 1941 :lol:
The neighborhood is known as Fairview and is Predominately white, but fair share of Alaskan Natives, Filipino, and Latinos with smattering of African-American in this area.
Toronto is very ethnically diverse.
My immediate neighbourhood, less so.
It's a Tarzan movie around here.
The neighbourhood I live in apparently has 28.5% foreigners, but used to have 34% in 2000. I guess the house I live in has a slightly higher ratio, maybe 40% of the names sound foreign.
The city as a whole has 21.8% foreigners. No idea about the percentage of naturalized people, there is no extra statistic for that.
The house I live in has a Kebab shop in the basement. My hairdresser, the cleaning lady, the cashiers in the supermarket, my dentist, my landlord etc. all have family roots abroad. In my white collar office job, almost everybody is German. :hmm:

QuoteMy hairdresser, the cleaning lady, the cashiers in the supermarket, my dentist, my landlord etc. all have family roots abroad.
Same here - it's in most service professions I guess. And lots of doctors from abroad. In fact, my dentist is Russian. When my GP was on vacation, an Usama El-Something was his backup.
QuoteIn my white collar office job, almost everybody is German. :hmm:
In our office of 15 we have 7 Austrians, 2 Anglo-Canadians, 1 French-Canadian, 1 Scot, 3 Germans, 1 French. At the previous job we had more Austrians, but also a number of people with Balkans background.
Anyways, my neighbourhood is probably much more ethnically diverse in the streets than in homes, as there are several embassies in the area and our office building (I have a 5 minutes' walk to work, so I both live and work in the same neighbourhood) is opposite the South African embassy.

Down the street some Bulgarian (or some other East European country?) ladies are looking for customers at night...strange enough in the other direction, they sell million Euro penthouses. It's a strange area - between seedy brothels and strip clubs and fancy yuppie houses with Porsches are just four blocks or so and I live halfway inbetween.

The area I live in is pretty diverse. I looked at the census data for my 'Middle Layer Super Output Area'.
About 31% is 'White British/English/Scottish/Welsh/Northern Irish'. The next biggest ethnic identities are 'Black; African' at 23.2% followed by 'White; Other White' at 10.5% and 'Black; Caribbean' at around 9.5%.
About 59.5% of the area were born in the UK (and Ireland), with around 33% from 'Other countries' (I'd guess African and Caribbean countries). Interestingly looking at the languages and passports the area's EU migrants are twice as likely to be from pre-2001 countries than 2001-11 countries, mainly Spanish people.
Only 12.5% of households say that no people in the household have English as their main language. 72% say it's the main language of everyone in the household.
It's 53.5% Christian. With about 25% of atheists ('no religion') and 10% of Muslims.

First generation? A shit ton of Russians, Ukrainians, Byelos, and other assorted Cossack filth. You can readily identify them by their chest hair, as all their shirts are open to the navel, regardless of the weather.
Also, lots of various Caribbean types, Koreans, West Africans, etc. A rich milieu, a vibrant tapestry, blah, blah, blah.
Second generation, too many to count from all over the place.

I have to ask my brother to which of Vienna's districts he contributes on that statistic. :lol:
As for my hometown, we still don't have as many inmigrants as other cities of a similar size, but they seem to be getting more established. In my street I have within walking distance a Latino supermarket and a nutrition suplements shop run by a bunch of scarily muscular black dudes.

My neighbourhood is pretty diverse. Let's see, we have:
- all kinds of Asians: Filipino, Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, a few Malaysians, a smattering of Sikhs and some other East Indians - possibly Tamil. They just opened a smallish temple six or seven blocks from my house. There are a few Korean churches not too far away, as well. There may be other Asian ethnicities represented, but they don't stand out.
- we've got a good number of Canadianized white people, and a recent number more recent immigrants around, with Italians being the most noticable. None of them have had a big impact on the streetscape, so it's hard to tell; though you do hear some accents once in a while. There's a Welsh community centre and a Polish one within reasonable walking distance. Of course, there are young Irish working in various shops here too. We got lots of Jews too.
- there aren't that many East Europeans, Native Americans, Muslims, Latinos or Black people making their presence known, but there are still a few around.
QuoteAccording to the 2010 census, Anchorage had a population of 291,826 and the racial and ethnic composition was as follows:
White: 66.0% (Non-Hispanic Whites: 62.6%, down from 83.6% in 1980)
Two or More Races: 8.1%
Asian: 8.1% (3.3% Filipino, 1.2% Korean, 1.1% Hmong, 0.5% Laotian).
American Indian and Alaska Natives: 7.9% (1.4% Inupiat, 1.1% Yup'ik, 0.8% Aleutian).
Blacks or African Americans: 5.6%
Other race: 2.3%
Native Hawaiians and Other Pacific Islanders: 2.0% (1.4% Samoan)
Hispanic or Latino (of any race): 7.6% (3.9% Mexican, 0.9% Puerto Rican, 0.6% Dominican, 0.5% Spanish, 0.5% Colombian)
And the School District touts 94 different language spoken by student body.

Okay, well I also work downtown, which meets the PC definition of 'diverse' as it has a lot of black folks but not many other minorities.
Re: immigrants, not many at all in Cincy but I've met quite a few. The educated or semi-educated Latin American ones seem to aggregate at my wife's workplace. When they throw a party it's pretty much an OAS meeting, with an occasional Bosnian or Kraut thrown in. I amaze them with my knowledge of their language, culture and geography.

I never talk to my neighbors. According the census linked from the wiki
Quote78.0% White, 16.9% African American, 0.3% Native American, 1.8% Asian, 0.1% Pacific Islander, 0.8% from other races, and 2.2% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 2.6% of the population.

Not that I've looked into it, but I think with rare exception--Muslims in Michigan, Nepalese in Colorado, for example--the immigration patterns still follow the 19th century/early 20th century model of landing in a city of entry on the coasts and sorta staying put. Not much inbound movement into the middle of the country where you are.

Which is why I always ask how the hell they ended up here. It's usually that their spouse or parents worked for P&G and got transferred to the home office. Or they married a yokel they met somewhere else.

I do like how in Manhattan, in many parts you get a sense of how on top of each other we all are. 20% of households making under 30,000 and 20% making over 200,000k in same zip.
Also, I was right, NYC has overall only 45% white people from the census, so I do indeed live in an area "overpopulated" by white people. :D

In other hilariously racist news, my Greek-American (by way of Texas) co-religionist, who is getting divorced from his psychiatrist-adulteress wife, had this experience: the attorneys (all white- one for my friend, and two for his wife- the two for his wife are old-money Mississippi lawyers) went in to conference with the judge before a temporary hearing. The judge was the first African-American city judge of Hattiesburg. The senior old-money lawyer's first words were, "Judge, this fella's not one of us."

If you check my zip code (61820), you get a wonderful idea of just how segregated Champaign, IL, still is. I've never lived somewhere that is so obviously segregated. The really sad thing is that there are those who refer to the black neighborhoods as "the 'hood" when they're lovely neighborhoods with well-kept houses and yards. The people who live there are obviously not poor, nor are they in any shape slovenly or unkempt. But, "the blacks" live there, so obviously, that means they're the 'hood. :rolleyes:
I like this town in general, but I really, really hate the racism that is still screamingly accepted.

QuoteThe racial makeup of the CDP was:
34.3% White
51.0% African American
I looked up the 2000 data, and the percentages practically flip-flopped between 2000 and 2010. I totally missed the White Flight Express.
The other foreigner in my building moved out a few weeks ago.
Nearby....I think there's maybe 4 other white guys and a Korean girl. Oh, and I saw an Indian coming out of a house once, maybe it was his.
For just my ZIP code:
Total Population: 59,551
White: 27,015 (45.36%)
Black: 20,207 (33.93%)
Hispanic: 8,585 (14.42%)
Asian: 5,831 (9.79%)
Hawaiian: 42 (0.01%)
Indian (American): 232 (0.39%)
"Asian" in this case is mostly Vietnamese, with some Chinese, Korean and people from the general vicinity of the Indian subcontinent. A smattering of Arabs, too. My actual neighborhood is mostly white, Hispanic, and Asian people, with a noticeable number of black people.
I'm fine with the area, with the exception of a few apartment complexes that are serious problems best dealt with by a BUFF sortie from Barksdale. My wife is biding her time until we can engage in white flight. :P
The funny thing about my neighborhood is that, despite the stats I posted, one of my neighbors is black (married to a white chick) and I think the folks on the other side of the creek from me may be black too (have never seen them up close).
As i am a nomad, I'll go off my home...
The neighborhood I grew up in, a well-off part of a major suburb of Seattle, which I remember being predominantly white when I was growing up. Now?
Based of the 2012 enrollment data for my old elementary school....
- African-American = 1%
- Hispanic = 1%
- Multi-ethnic = 8%
- White = 30%
- Asian = 60%
And the neighborhood is still very upper/upper-middle class, so we're not talking Hmong refugees.

I dont think that follows. If you believe such a thing happened then you would also understand it was right after having an observant feast. Now if he had eaten ham then returned from death you might have a point.
Paul had to water everything down to make the new religion palatable to the ham loving unwashed.
correct and then paul added a whole bunch of sexual taboos that made the whole of christendom cranky
why do the crusades, the inquisition, totalitarianism, revolution, civil war, and a holocaust follow? Blue balls. Blame 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? :)
(Haven't read the thread yet.)
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.

Dguller has been promoted to "Jew from the Ukraine.".
My neighborhood is 99% Korean
There were some Koreans with IAEA name tags on the subway this morning.
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.

I promoted him to American.
Under observation of course.
Can I be American? :)

You make chili a lot as I recall, so: YES.
Ok, I'll apply for a Green Card, then (will take a while, as sibling GCs take like forever). :)
We'll settle you in Lancaster County, PA. You look exactly like all of the natives. :bowler:

Money = black Irish :(
Would America welcome me?
I was actually able to find StatsCan demographic info for my neighbourhood (for 2006). It lists 75% European ancestry, but 16% East Asian, and 7% South Asian.
Anecdotally I would have thought the East and South Asian umbers would be much higher than that. It's a reasonably wealthy neighbofhood, but that has only attracted people from those communities.
I went to America once. But they sent me to Syria and I was tortured. :(

It seems there's a waiting period of ca. 12 years for siblings at the moment . . . :lol:
By that time I'm pushing 50, and my sister will be in her mid-60s. :lol:

Similarly, I would have thought that Goldsboro has a much larger Hispanic population than what the census figures show.
