London is the real melting pot.

Anyone who says something about the United States being a true melting pot is an idiot. Seriously. I used to think like that, at least until I got here. Now I see that the US is about half white people, a third black people and the remaining fraction is predominantly oriental. Come to London some time. You'll see every race represented, and the proportions are much more even. Granted, you'll still see more white people than not, but you'll also have plenty of Black, Indian, Middle Eastern, Korean, Chinese, Japanese and even Hassidic Jews about. Try finding a high proportion of Middle Eastern folks anywhere in the US, especially these days. Not gonna happen. Walk through London for 20 minutes and I guarantee you'll see someone from each of these races at some point. It's a very cool thing. Another cool thing? They all seem to be making enough money to live here, which is more than I could say for myself if I were to attempt to move here...

Oh yeah, I only weigh 13 stone. Sorry if anybody's calculations were off. I guess weighing myself while wearing shoes, jeans, jacket, etc. Wasn't the best idea. So yeah, take me over the 14 stones next time. 13 is another matter entirely.
