Multi-Ethnicity
|
| Cultural diversity means to me that people from all over the world or from many different countries are living together but very often with their own culture in their heads. It results that most of the people meet new cultures and it specials. |

Multi-Ethnicity in L.A.
|
| » variety of several cultures and religions as well as traditions |
| » diversity of food, of clothes (consumer products in general), languages, entertainment |
| » a large number of different people who contribute to a colourful society |
| » a variety of non-English media |
 unlike the multi-ethnicity of N.Y. of about 1900 |
| L.A. is rather a "mosaic" then the "melting pot" of N.Y. |
