A city with sizable white (American)/black (American)/ Hispanic (predominately Mexican/ Central American and lesser extent South American and the islands) and now Asian (and then here mostly limited to a handful of South and East Asian ethnicities) is not really "diverse", it's a typical cross section of most of big city America. Some cities have more of one group, others less. It's everything
else that makes an area diverse. At least to me. This is why Toronto is hailed as being quintessentially diverse because they have people from everywhere there. Probably from other planets too...
