That you mentioned the cliche before I had to says more about the city itself than anything. > Diverse for me means I'm not the only dark skinned person I would have difficulty relating with anyone if all I cared about was race but hey you do you. It's only considered racism if a white person does it right? Imagine someone like me moving to a place like India, and one of the top pros I could say about it was "you know what, there are a decent amount of other white people here." It would very likely not go over well.

      > I would have difficulty relating with anyone if all I cared about was race but hey you do you. The person you replied to listed 10+ other reasons, of which diversity was buried in the middle. You asked for a clarification specifically on diversity, then leapt to an unfounded judgment implying that that’s all they care about. That sequence of events seems like an entirely unnecessary and counterproductive provocation.
