Toronto. How come?!


I been thinking about this for a while and Im curious. Toronto in Canada seems to be a very interesting and vibeful city. Through the years I've noticed that there are a lot of beautiful black women from Toronto. How come?! I mean if there is one city that is noticed except for the big cities like NYC, LA, London, Paris etc, Toronto is the one. As Im researching about the city I realize "Toronto is one of the world's most diverse cities by percentage of non-native-born residents, as about 49% of the population were born outside of Canada".

Maybe thats the answer to my curiosity?! :)

I know a lot of Jamaican people live in Toronto, but that's as far as my knowledge stretches about Canada.

Why thank you Andreas, lol!
Well, its true what you say, there is definitely a big melting pot of cultures here in Toronto.

Glad you looked us up. Nice pic of the city. We are incredibly diverse. That's true. Make sure you check out our festival too called Caribana. It's coming up on July 31, 2010.

I am Canadian and Jamaican. In the early 70's Canada opened its immigration policy to allow more immigration from the British Commonwealth countries (i.e., the English speaking islands of the West Indies). Then West Indians from other (non-English speaking) islands came to Canada. And then Africans began immigrating to Canada. There's also a large Indian/Pakistani population (not strictly speaking black, but dark-skinned). And there was also a small black 'indigenous' community who had come to Canada via the Underground Railroad as escaped slaves from the American south. So yes, you'll find lots of black and other dark-skinned people in Canada, especially in Toronto. Toronto is a world-class city to rival New York, London and Paris. You will have a great time visiting Toronto.

Andreas! Thank you! There are a lot of beautiful women of ALL ethnicities here, and a LOT of beautiful black women here. And the best part? Black women here, more than half of the time, want white men!


I know what I'm talking about! I'm a black woman from Toronto! Even the ones who don't EXCLUSIVELY date white men in Toronto, are at least open to it!

I was thinking about Toronto...I'm dying to live in a multi-cultural place. I live in the South and the hate has gotten better but it's still too much of an issue...I'm thinkin a new country would be great!

Diversity and acceptance make for beautiful people!

While Toronto has its share of racism and bigots, overall it's a city that strives to celebrate the differences between cultures.
