Texas is #2 and Florida is #8 for the most diverse states in the the U.S. [1] - maybe it's worth looking at this issue with more nuance if we actually care about equality.

- irrational 3y agoDiversity is hardly surprising since they used to belong to Mexico and still share a long border with that state. It would almost be impossible for them not to have a large Hispanic population. But what is their ranking for abortion rights? LGBTQ rights? Mass shootings? Quality of energy grid? Etc.
- toolz 3y agoI don't understand your metrics. What could be a better metric for gauging how diverse groups feel about living somewhere than looking at where those groups actually live? Certainly not abortion rights, mass shootings or energy grid metrics. Your implication that immigrants willing to change countries are unwilling to change states seems like a very weak argument as well.
