Study shows NYC home to 800 spoken languages, most linguistically diverse.

The arguments here are way out of hand. People aren't even talking about the right things anymore. Muppet has the right idea IMO, and everyone else is making petty arguments and dismissing responses as "inaccuracies" and "incredulities" as Muppet pointed out.

Get back on track: NYC is NOT the first multicultural city in the world. FACT. It may have been the first to reach a certain # etc., but multiculturalism has always existed in ancient cities. Get back to the roots of the argument. Multicultural means:"of, relating to, or constituting several cultural or ethnic groups within a society". As long as those ethnic groups have a community that practices their cultural ideas and heritage, it is a cultural phenomenon and it constitutes multiculturalism. The amount of diversity in many of the ancient cities mentioned are astounding, and by claiming the NYC is the first multicultural city is an insult to the history of those ethnic groups.

Now, those arguing otherwise will comeback saying "that's not what I meant!" and bring more BS to the table about irrelevant sh!t.

BTW, eye color is controlled by more than just 1 gene per parent. Estimated to be around 4. I don't know how that complicates the lineage if a dominant dark eye color gene came into the mix, but I'm sure it's NOT the same.
