Switzerland, a country that works: Not perfect, but as countries go, it's hard to find one better

One more thing to note: Virtually EVERYONE (if not everyone) speaks AT LEAST two languages in Switzerland. One language is either French, German, or Italian, the second language is ALWAYS English.

They can all talk to each, at least on some level (usually a pretty good level).

That is not always true in other countries trying to be multilingual, like the United States.

How many non-white minorities live in Switzerland?

Stable government must conform to the habits and traditions of the people.

DEMOGRAPHICS OF SWITZERLAND

In 2007, 1.45 million resident foreigners (85.4%, or 19.1% of the total population[12]), had European citizenship (Italian: 295,507; German: 224,324; citizens of Serbia and Montenegro: 196,078; Portuguese: 193,299; French: 83,129; Spanish: 66,519, Macedonian: 60,509; Bosnian: 41,654; Croatian: 38,144; Austrian: 36,155; British: 32,207). ; 109,113 residents were from Asia; 69,010 from the Americas; 66,599 from Africa; and 3,777 from Oceania.

I would also add, those from Africa are the EDUCATED and SKILLED and EMPLOYABLE ones.
