The Bay Area is a beautiful melting pot of ethnically Caucasian, Asian, Hispanic, Black, and Indian folks that appears very diverse if you look at physical appearance.
But if you have lived in S.F. and also New York, it's easy to see why someone would claim N.Y. is more diverse. I think it has a lot to do with embracing different ways of living. Its a pretty common joke how much conformity there is in the Bay in a basic workplace enviroment, ie. wear this flannel shirt, have 'x' opinion on social media, have 'x' political view.
New York isn't better or worse, but it feels like there is more variety in your day to day interactions with different types of people.

I noticed this in the Dallas/Ft Worth area too. What I also noticed was how many friends in both NYC and SF were completely oblivious to the fact that cities besides their own can also be rather diverse. Both SF and NYC are constantly in their own bubbles, and I wish that they'd break out of them more instead of dismissing 98% of the country as "flyover states."
- Caveman_Coder 9y agoI left the Bay Area for the Pacific Northwest (and not Portland or Seattle)...the bubbles do exist...out here I can talk with my neighbor about all kinds of things pertaining to farming, self-sufficiency, home repair, electronics (as most farmers are pretty well versed in basic electronic repair), etc...I now look at SF/LA/NY as being stuck in their own superficial bubbles and I'm glad I left.
