    Hopkins don't give a damn about booos anyway...

    Bernard once said: "I don't care about booos, I'm from Philly, where I come from I've seen people booo Santa Claus"

    The word "Hmmmmmmmmmmmm" springs to mind.

    I'm not being funny but I know from that statement that you have rarely, if at all, left America.

    America is not even the most diverse nation in its own continent.

    It's Hopkins vs. Calzaghe, both getting highly paid for doing something they both want to do and boosting up their ego's at the same time.

    However, it's fun.

    It should never be about country vs. country, though I see Hops is trying to make it that way.

    U.S Ethnic Groups

    white 81.7%, black 12.9%, Asian 4.2%, Amerindian and Alaska native 1%, native Hawaiian and other Pacific islander 0.2% (2003 est.)
    note: a separate listing for Hispanic is not included because the US Census Bureau considers Hispanic to mean a person of Latin American descent (including persons of Cuban, Mexican, or Puerto Rican origin) living in the US who may be of any race or ethnic group (white, black, Asian, etc.)

    Canadian Ethnic groups

    British Isles origin 28%, French origin 23%, other European 15%, Amerindian 2%, other, mostly Asian, African, Arab 6%, mixed background 26%

    So in the U.S , 82% of the people are considered White(Latinos are a part of this number, and different European, and Middle Eastern backgrounds are not differentiated) 18% are considered non white, including 13% being considered black

    In Canada only 8% are clearly defined as being non white, and 51% are comprised of British and French citizens. Asian, Black, and Arab are clearly differentiated(Arabs aren't differentiated in the U.S), and only make up 6% of the population.

    So again, how do you figure Canada is more diverse than the U.S?

    Well, because skin color isn't the only index of ethnic identity... Language, for example, has something to do with it too. Switzerland, Mauritius, Belgium, and a lot of the Caribbean countries would be more diverse than the US.
