From Wiki:

Total visible minority population 5,068,095 16.2%

There may be a lot of minority groups but the minority population is barely noticeable compared to the US.

Dan -

[edit] I see you and Lane3 have been having it out about this. I agree with her. [/edit]

I only said Canada was more homogeneous than the US. Their minority population of 16.2%, according to your site, confirms that. More than 80% of the people there are from one ethnic group, basically. That does not describe the United States.

Sweden is not as purely blonde and blue-eyed as it used to be, either, as Lane pointed out, and according to my swedish ex-wife. Still far more homogeneous than the US, though.
