How different are people in the country?

answer:People in multi-ethnic society like Singapore and USA are different in terms of their races,cultures,beliefs and many more.
(However we united as a nation regardless who we are.Unity is very important,especially in Singpore,as we are a small country
and we do not want other countries to take advantage of us.)
