The USA - for better and worse - _is_ a melting pot by comparison, even
if the main ingredients in the pot are mostly white and suffering from
world domination disorder. They came from - and keep coming - from all
over.... Anyway, can such things be quantified, even qualified?

But let's have a gratuitious go at it anyway - here is a quote by the
leader of the third biggest and one of the most influential parties in
Denmark over the last decade (and keep in mind there is proportional
democracy and a multi-party system running government, so she is
actually having hands-on power):

"The Social Security Act is passé because it was tailored to a Danish
family tradition and work ethic and not to Muslims, for whom it is fair
to be provided for by others while the wife gives birth to a lot of
children. The child benefit grant is being taken advantage of, as an
immigrant achieves a record income due to [having] just under a score of
children. New punishment limits must be introduced for group rapes
because the problem only arrived with the vandalism of the many
anti-social second-generation immigrants." (Pia Kjærsgaard's weekly
newsletter, 25 February 2002)"

That is from Wikipedia - I can't be bothered to read about these
sycophantic, small-minded (powerful) tossers, but if you can stomach it
and do not have blood pressure problems, then have a read through some
of this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danish_People%27s_Party which notes
that "In the 2007 parliamentary election, the party took 25 seats in the
179-member Folketinget (an increase of 1 seat), with 13.8% of the vote,
remaining the third largest party in Denmark."

Imagine far-right wingers in the White House - and I am not talking
about Bush and his corporate friends........ that is Denmark...
