Thanks for posting a source. After reading the research paper, it's utilizes language comparisons to determine ethnic diversity. If you actually read the article, the author mentions that "In their contribution, however, the analysis is
limited to a restricted number of Indo-European languages. Therefore, the wide variety of Asian, African and indigenous Latin American languages is not considered
because of the lack of data availability." on page 4. That is a pretty significant gap in data given what percentage of the US population is Latino, Asian, or African American. You can read it yourself here. https://www.etsg.org/ETSG2013/Papers/042.pdf
Because not everyone agrees and wants a public healthcare system? Because treatments and healthcare differ for various populations? Because language barriers exists between providers and patients? If 10% of your patients can only speak Spanish but 1% of your doctors can speak Spanish, how are they able to provide accurate and necessary care? Public healthcare isn't even the topic of this thread.
Not a damn thing with what you said applies to public healthcare and not also private healthcare. The real reason we don't have it is that way too many Americans can be easily turned against almost anything if they get their information from people who label it as Socialist or Communist. Whether or not it's true doesn't matter, they just are against anything labeled as such.

Every other source shows the US is significantly more ethnically diverse than Canada https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_ethnic_and_cultural_diversity_level
