In a multicultural Western country is it fair to say?

There's only one race that forms a nation but varietion in shades?

I don't really see much difference between me and other British born and raised people here in the uk, living in London.
Especially when you're 3rd or 4th generation of diaspora...
But that could just be me personally...

My colouring yes... But culturally no!

Eh.. in the United States there is this sort of general homogeny, but there’s also self – segregation where people gather in clusters of similar background, especially if that background conflicts with the mainstream, homogenous values

@WhateverWorks yes... But that's not the point I am making.
In doing so isn't that what creates problems.

Hard to say. I fall under the homogenized category for the most part. I’m mostly French and Irish, but that was so many generation that the culture itself isn’t present within my family. I imagine though that if I had a cultural identity/‘a people I feel connected to via my culture ’ I wouldn’t appreciate people expecting me to relinquish it @Mellowgirl

@WhateverWorks many cities in America have chinatowns . That’s a good example of self segregation. .
Many religious groups do the same thing .
