The point was was originally making was that this is a weird way of talking about diversity, since there are so many disparate groups in these groupings.

US Census asks about race and ethnicity—that’s why we have two different numbers that are both correct. A great deal of Hispanic New Yorkers identify as white.

Yes, if you choose to subdivide white people in this manner. If that’s the case, why lump all Torontonian Asians together?

> They’re largely Asian and White.
I’m not going to argue that Toronto is more diverse. I think the UN seals the deal for NYC. But this is a weird statement to make. Toronto is less white than NYC, and “Asian” over simplifies a diverse group, which includes 14% South Asian (Indian, Pakistan, etc), 10% Chinese, 6% Filipino, 2.5% West Asian (ie middle eastern), 2% Southeast Asian, 1.5% Japanese, and 1.5% Arab.
My go-to metric is language. There are 700 spoken in NYC. Toronto is 200, and London is 250. (All approximate)

Mongoloid is a racist term that refers to people of Asian descent. I have no doubt that it was adopted as a term for people with Downs because it was already considered a slur.

Interesting to see an upvoted racist comment at the end of this thread. Sorta confirms what the rest of us think about Staten Island.

Police livery on a cool-looking car (it even has red calipers!). Reminds me of how German soldiers in the 1930's wore uniforms manufactured by Hugo Boss.

Open-world game developers know the importance of an "infinite horizon".

>Microsoft could not find footing. It's not like they suck and gave it a 1/2 ass attempt. Was it early? Probably.
Isn't early better for Microsoft? When I think about some of Microsoft's flops, I recall a lot of products that were introduced when Microsoft was trying to play catch up. Microsoft's Zune didn't come out until the iPod was already mature, and the iPhone was only a year away. Microsoft came out with the Kin to capitalize on the Sidekick's popularity, but it came weirdly three years after the iPhone. They didn't get Windows Phone to market until the iOS and Android stores were already mature, making it difficult for MS to draw developers and customers to the platform.
The only example, that I can think of, involving MS successfully entering into a mature market, is perhaps the Xbox.

This claim stuck out to me when reading... Is that really the only reason for the name change?
