For an immigrant Midwest is though. In Bay Area, there are tons of groups of people from countries you've never heard of them. And funny is, all those people are working in technology so in their time together they have a lot of shared interests to talk about. One other side effect of having more diverse demographics is people are less bios against ethnicity. Because people are exposed to a lot of people from other ethnicities.

The city the author was talking about, Cleveland, is a city with a 51% black population. A suburb I live next to in the area has a Jewish population comparable to an Israeli city (over 90%). I'm pretty sure we've got the largest Slovenian population outside of Slovenia. I just got a graduate degree from a college in Cleveland and roughly 80% of my fellow CS students were ethnically Indian, with the rest a pretty random mix from around the world. I guess I could go on. In contrast, I honestly never felt like the urban techie parts of the Bay Area were hugely diverse when I lived there. Lots of really interesting people but there are much more interesting places to live as far as non-tech stuff goes.
