The same can be transposed to cultures, cities, nations, etc. If you want just a pastiche of all the world's cultures, that's fine. But that's "EPCOT". Not the real deal.

If they have a choice, nobody goes to a new world city or country to sample an old world culture.

If you travel to Venice to sample "old world culture", almost all the businesses exist for tourists, and ALL of the goods are made in China. The real Italy - not the one artificially preserved in cryo stasis - is somewhere in suburban Napoli or Pescara. In Hong Kong, they're saying that the best Chinese food in the world is now in Vancouver... in other words, I wouldn't get too hung up on racial purity.

Anyway, it's a moot point since the threshold for when some place is "too (insert race)" already favors whites. Tons of people say Vancouver is "too Asian", at 30%. Some students avoid universities with that kind of ratio lol. It's scary not being the majority race. Yet no city is ever "too white" unless it's like 90% or higher.
