We Are So Cosmopolitan

The BBC reports that the UN says Miami has the largest foreign-born population of any city in the world.

Some 59% of people in the city were not born in the US, the UN Development Programme report said.

…Toronto had the second-highest proportion of foreign-born citizens (44%), while Los Angeles was a close third with 41%.

Another two North American cities - Canada’s Vancouver (37%) and New York (36%) - made it into the top five, the report said.

Outside North America, the town-state of Singapore scored highest (33%), followed by Australia’s Sydney (31%), Abidjan (30%) in Ivory Coast, London (28%) and Paris (23%).

Plus we’ve got Shaq. But he was born in Newark.

How many different nationalities?
Miami has never struck me as cosmopolitan. ;-)
