How strong do you think these minority influences are in non-urban, non-diverse, and non-cosmopolitan places (well for the indigenous influence, it's different as they are a native minority pre-dating European settlement) relatively in either country?
Like for instance, is a white suburbanite or "middle America" type person in say Iowa who never grew up around minorities more influenced by Hispanic and Black culture than a small town Canuck from the prairies or maritimes would be influenced by First Nations culture (or even if you would have it, Asian culture, if this person was from small town BC, say, far away from Vancouver or any urban area).
Aside from being more aware of their presence from media coverage etc., what elements of food, dress, diet, culture etc. are prominently more "black" or Hispanic" about white Americans vs. white Canadians, and what elements of say, First Nations or "Asian" culture does the average white Canadian have more than the average white American?
