New York

New York… who doesn’t know where is this city? Who never heard this word, even if it has been just one time?
It’s the biggest city in USA and probably one of the biggest cities in the world.
USA is a country that is fairly recent and is consisted for many immigrants and that makes New York so diverse in races and in ethnic groups, one of the most multicultural cities in the world. You, just walking in a street, probably find many people of different skin colour, life styles and different roots and traditions.
In a census done in 2000 the quantity of population of New York was 8 008 278. The population were 44% Caucasian, 36% were Afro-Americans and 10% were Asians but there were other races, such as Hispanics, Jews, Port-Ricans, Dominicans, Chinese’s, Italians and etc… As you can see, New York is very multicultural.
Since the arriving of immigrants of different parts of the world many conflicts appeared because each one has different traditions and beliefs. The conflicts between races and ethnic groups keep on, but the numbers of registered cases have decreased.
Personally, I want to go to New York one week, two weeks, spending a nice holidays, because it’s a city full of art and culture and have many things to see.
New York is the world in a city!
