"Minneapolis-level background of racial diversity" Here is what the Minneapolis Fed bank president has to say about that, http://www.marketwatch.com/story/feds

  He's talking about national statistics. He just happened to be working in MPLS at the time: "Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari said Wednesday he was “shocked” that the persistently higher national black unemployment rate relative to the rate for whites was not better understood." People who live in MPLS know that it has a huge immigrant population of somali and other east africans as well as (I think) the largest Hmong/Cambodian population in the United States. That is, in addition to the inner-city diversity of american blacks. Also, unlike many other cities, there are native americans. So it's not NYC or LA, but it's not Denver either. In fact, I think my original comparison may be off - MPLS is probably more diverse than Zurich. (I have lived in MPLS on two different occasions - 6 and 5 years each. I own a business in Zurich.)

    I am saying having racial diversity without equity is not a desirable outcome.
