And he thinks Kentucky, Tennessee and South Carolina are going to join the European Union.

It was a rather famous map when it first appeared. To the article's credit, they mention its inclusion as an interesting view on how outsiders know very, very little about the dynamics within our country (which is likely true about any country being viewed from outside).

The great thing is how the map was championed throughout Russia as a brilliant piece of scholarship.

Canada is more ethnically diverse then the United States?

based on the way they put together the information, it looks like the vast majority of white people in the US would have answered 'merican, while some large percentage of canada's white people would have answered quebecois.

Canada also hosts a decent number of communities of various European asylum-seekers from WW1 and WW2, as well as similar Asian immigration that we've seen in the US.

I can't speak to the heterogeneity (mixing) of the cultures (I imagine it is no more mixed than what we see here), but I can see Canada boasting a comparable mixture of cultures. The only glaring difference is that we have far more immigrants from Latin America; not that Canada has none.
