It’s all about perspective
This is a cool concept. From the artist:
This is the way I see this city (or this country for that matter). A mix of different races, styles that don't quite fit together yet and don't understand that in a sense, all of them are necessary to fill one piece of the puzzle and keep this thing going on.
Perspective. Our experience colors everything we say and do. Two people living in the same family will experience family dynamics and pressures differently as a result of personality differences, sibling order, possession (or not) of abilities valued by the family and so on. Two people from the same family will respond to the same situation differently. How then do we expect a whole nation to think as one? But we do. We want everyone to agree with us. We want everyone to look like us. We want everyone to act like us.
Would that more people could understand there is more than one way to see/view/understand everything in this world, and no way is necessarily better than another. Would that people would not castigate others for not seeing the world through the same lens as they. Would that people would stop and say, "Really? That's the way you see it? Tell me about that."

Very nice article.
I agree a lot with your point of view, there’s more to life than you and your perspective. Every country see the world differently, has different goals and traditions, unfortunately I see that this country’s government think that the only correct view is theirs. If you think different you’re wrong and are against “freedom”.
That sucks.
People should try to understand the other’s views instead of attack them out of ignorance and fear.
