Aaa...we don't have things like the first question around here...but I'm considered a British enclave to China. Which makes sense.

Our non-Asian population is still just as strong as our Indian population, too. It's not extremely high, but it's still the fifth highest demographic.

The various enclaves in the UK serve as a small community for different ethnic groups who immigrate here, making the transition from their original countries to here less stressful and giving them a place where they can interact with those of similar backgrounds. However, they are not as much strictly defined "enclaves" as they are merely cities with high minority populations, which also allows them to interact with the natives.

I don't have any sort of problem with not having ethnic enclaves in other nations, especially in countries where I would blend in anyway. However, the one thing that does bother me is that I'm being treated the same way as France.

Huh... I don't have any of those things you mentioned...

B-but wouldn't it be cool if every town had a little Sealand? One day... one day!

You'd first have to be a nation to even have a nationality of your own ... Even if you did, wouldn't a Sealand ethnic enclave be "big Sealand" compared to you?

Not once Sealand has grown into a mighty Empire!

You mean "not once has Sealand grown into a mighty empire," and it never will.

I like the little ethnic communities is my cities.

I would like to know why other cities haven't started making "Little Americas" or "America Towns"?

When I was in Osaka, Japan, there was an Amerikamura (America...village?) but it was less an ethnic enclave than a really cool shopping district with some American stores.

There ARE American enclaves.

They're generally called "military bases".

I don't think you find those here... There might be some places, but I don't think that's enough to call it an "ethnic enclave".

And I don't really care about that, I suppose. It's not like they have Danish ones.
