Whoa. I wasn't aware of that. I have a view of Great Britain that it is more racist than America. I just got that impression over the years.

Maybe London, being the big city like NY is in the U.S., is more cosmopolitan. In any case, that's pretty cool. I wonder if America has any Pakistani mayors?
