Well then you've never been to Toronto. We don't just have at least one of every type of person we got entire sections of them. Korean, Vietnamese, Chinses, Japanese, Sri Lanken, Somolian, Jamaican, Guyanese, Trinadadian, Latino, Greek, Italian, Russian, rich Jewish, poor Jewish, Black ghetto, Arabic, Persian, Indian, Pakistani, Philipino. I could keep going. It's not just like there is one here and there, it's like I could go to a part of the city and the whole area is catored towards that culture. There's store's with their food, the clothing style, their schools.

you have that in queens too. Astoria Queens has the largest greek population outside of the mediterrian. Ozone Park/South Ozone Park/Richmond hill largest indians population outside of india (ruined the southside of queens). Richmond Hill aka little guyana. Howard Beach nicknamed little italy an ozone park was called that 2 but the neighborhood changed. Jackson Heights an East Elmhurst columbian an ecudorian. Maspeth Queens aka Pollock Alley. Ridgewodd Queens all german. Flushing queens all korean n chinese. Even the Major stores in the area are written in korean an chinese.

I never meant to imply that Queens or New York wasn't diverse, but you said it was the most diverse. There isn't a single race present in New York that isn't here. However, correct me if I'm wrong, there aren't many Sri Lankens, if any at all, in New York, and not too many Somolians. We have the foriegn language signs on stores here too.

I can honestly say that I have no idea what in the world a Sri Lankan is (nor do I really want to find out).

Well I 'll tell you anyway. Sri Lanaka is a war torn country in Asia, near India. Sri Lankan people are very dark skinnined and the ones around here have a rather large asppreciation for Reggae music, the new Reggae. You know the dance hall stuff like Sean Paul. There is a very large population of them in Toronto. Percentage wise it's probably like the amount of Latinos in some US cities. They are also known as Tamils, for their religion I think, and many (but not most) are involved in crime. The Tamil Tigers is a militia in Sri Lanka that attempts to over throw the government there, or something like that, and many of it's members came here and continued their criminal ways, recruiting younger teens into their gangs.
