Is it true that people of the same ethnicity tend to stick together more? For example, in Australia, you can classify a suburb or region by the people living there, and it seems like people from the same countries like to stay where theres a community of migrants.

Living in Delaware I see that most ethnicity do stick together.
You can drive down a street and tell what nationalities live in the vicinity.
And I am not being racial here It's just what I see.

can you REALLY tell one hispanic from another... or one asian from another (nationality-wise) just by seeing them on the distance (no sound, just sight)? If so, u have a future with HSBP... they need experts on that to avoid racial profiling and stereotyping.

And no, no kidding.

No I can't tell the difference from the Asians, but here in Delaware you sure can tell the difference from the Hispanics. Now while I livedd in Jersey I couldn't tell too much from the Hispanics but I could tell from the Asians. I know weird!!!

90% of the Mexicans & Guatemaltecos that are here in Delaware are migrant workers. Not too sound to cruel, but most of the Mexicans are under 5' tall, while the Guatemaltecos are under 4' 5" tall. And for the Ricans they are at least 5' 5" tall or taller (except for me, lol). You can mostly tell by the way they speak, their accent.

Don't get me wrong I am not in any way racial. I am just saying what it's like to live in Delaware. In Delaware the Hispanics have not been accepted fully yet, unlike the rest of the country.

When my great grandmother arrived at Ellis Island from Italy, people stuck together. They ended up in South Philly and then to Camden. In Camden, Italians, Polish, Irish, Jewish etc....stuck together. I think mostly because at that time they spoke their own languages. I was told that they had to learn English right away. I have heard that not only Spanish but Italian (which are similare languages) but may NAtionalities have a formal language but then their own dialects from that language. Would it be wise to compare it to say in the US people who speak English don't always use it's formality-Up North here we sound different than in say NC and TX sounds different than NC and in MN they sound different...so I guess people of the same heritage and different languages can tell what area of their country people could come from by their voices/words. Hey Palito ain't it so in the Military? After a while you become an expert on our language and where people are from.

The towns are interesting with some traditional houses with grass roofs, but once you are out of the towns the scenery offered at each step is super, whether it is hills, lakes or ocean. I am not much of an expert on birdlife, but even a novice can enjoy the various birdlife whilst out walking.
