With the war and influx of American GIs and Britain, not to mention their colonies, I stand by my statement for Britain as well.
What helps in the case of the UK is a larger percentage of their population lives in cities than the US too. Just by the math living in urban areas you’re just going to see more people and more people from outside your community will be come in.

True. A decade or two earlier might have been different: All the historical examples in this thread had my mind locked in to the thirties, not the fifties!
