re: Sweden is the No. 1 country for affordability, safety and overall quality of life

Why is listing a group of mostly European nations as best places to live somehow racist? The only thing that is racist about it would be the mistaken notion that those nations are somehow ethnically homogenous...they are not. In fact they are among the most ethnically diverse nations in the western world. I understand that a LOT of Americans think the only reason Europe is a better place to live than the US is because there are no minorities in Europe to speak of but I also know for a fact, and the data is relatively available, that most of Europe is about as ethnically diverse as the United States and some of Europe is more so...
