I believe there are more international or cosmopolitan children in the decades from 1960 to now than in previous generations, but of course difficult to find data on that because Google is no longer any good.
on edit: realizing that I might have left myself open for someone to complain about my laziness and how I thought people ever managed to do any research before google, I will just note that difficulty is relative and for me it would be difficult because it is not the kind of thing my day to day life is geared towards - ergo, it is not my job to find this kind of data and thus I am unable to make the requisite investment of time to prove my conjecture without the use of a quality search engine such as was available to the general public about a decade ago.
It's sad I had to explain myself at this length, but I have had experiences that suggests it is prudent to do so.

A nation is always a people. Sometimes—not always—they have a place.
Of course, by those terms some people simply will not be the product of any nation, in this sense in which we commonly use the word. I take it you’re Jewish? Sometimes a nation can be a people, rather then a place.
