“Thirty percent of their population is either immigrants, or children of immigrants.”

That does not mean that they are not homogenuous...so, what is your point?

well, they are homogenuous in the sense that I know Italians, Swiss, French, Germans etc and all say that Swiss-Italians are not like northern Italians (from the border regions say) and Swiss-Germans are different from Austrians and Bavarians etc. etc.

they all are homogenuous in the sense that they have a strong sense of community and individuality with care for others -- what I mean for that is that they work on their own, but think about others :)
