Immigration on Federation Earth and the Sol system

Which nations do you feel are the most racially diverse? Bearing in mind I'm not asking about ethnic diversity or cultural diversity.
But how do you define race?
Is Greek a different race than Italian?
German different from Irish?
Tibetan from Chinese?
Togo from Ghana?
Iraq from Kuwait?
To me these are different races, sometimes.
Although for example there may have been an arbitrary line dividing up for example Iraq/ Kuwait or Togo/Ghana. The races within the countries as they are may certainly be varied.

Most countries in Latin America would qualify. Brazil, for example. Most people are mixed to some degree, but a large proportion of people look recognizably European, African, Native American, or even Asian.
 
There's one race, the human race.

I'm not convinced ww3 landed in Europe or the US. OK, maybe Golden Gate Bridge, Eiffel Tower and St Paul's cathedral may have been rebuilt, but the London Eye? Or The Shard? Or the exact same street layouts we see today?
 
Ther's no way the war could have destroyed most of the "major cities" and only killed 600 million people.

My (head canon) take is the two most populace countries duked it out and the major cities destroyed were in those two countires. The rest of the world had to then deal with wind blown radiation, refugees, and economic decline.
 
I can believe the White Christians numbers declining, if its like Western Europe there are not many White people who go to church compared to the past, but as an ethnic group White Europeans are still the majority group in the UK, for example.

The video specifically indicates White Christian Americans: you're safe in the UK.:techman:

Those would be ethnic/cultural groups, not races.

You can be a Christian and never step foot in a church, people might not go to chruch for a variety of reasons.

Declining chruch attendance doesn't mean declining numbers of Christians
 
^ There's no evidence to support that. Even in radiation fallout had affected fertility then negotiations with the Vulcans would likely have included assistance in that (and many other medical) issue. Troi does say that after First Contact that within 50 years disease was no longer on Earth.
Those years before first contact, however included the likes of Col Green. His forces were euthanizing untold numbers with mutations from the war, and it is unclear how many or where they were from.
 
Double standards and people in glass houses are two reasons that church going has been going down in the UK! The other reason is being worked to death and recovering from it on a Sunday!

But surely, you could also be a white American from a Christian background, but not identify as Christian.

Having said that, I'm not white, Christian or American. Another Brit here.

Based on the last UK census most people belong to the church of Jedi :rofl:
 
In the USA the census used to break down race into groups like "Italian, French, Irish,Polish " etc.
The term, it seems, may be fluid.
I think this was the Middle Ages attitude to race, the English believed they were a different race from the Scottish, people treated the next village as a foreign nation lol

I'd say it's more likely to be South America than anywhere in Asia, seeing as how there has been no character established as having originated from that part of the globe.
