I don't think he was talking about the 5 boroughs though, I think he meant NY Metro. In an earlier post he clearly said "Unless it's Queens or Brooklyn" implying that the city is diverse. But as an entire metro. . . .
But the vast majority of people in NYC live and interact with other people who live in NYC. Most people in the US don't live throughout a metro, but within their own city.
When you have a city that has 8 million people, or more populated than every OTHER whole metropolitan area aside from Los Angeles or Chicago, then you have something special going on. SF Bay has 7.5 million people, NYC has over 8 million. Those are real world fair comparisons.
And I wouldn't sleep on the other parts of the metro either. Hudson County and a huge chunk of Central NJ are diverse and integrated on a level that frankly, even Los Angeles wishes it was at.

Notice you forgot DC..you know, the MSA that has more Blacks than LA CSA AND Bay Area CSA, and is also along the Eastern Seaboard
Moving the goalposts again, yawn....
And you really didn't address the question of SoCal vs. NY area..I know its hard for you Bay Area people to talk about race relations in SoCal, but we know how horrible it is..even you and NinetiesFlava have admitted it

LA has a higher percentage of upper income minority households than anywhere in the Northeast.
You celebrate third world squalor and cramped 'urban' tenements all youh want-that bores me, I'll celebrate minority households that work hard and become rich.

Umm, according to your OWN stats, New York City has more high-paid minority households than Los Angeles.
Yes, we know its easier for minorities to become richer in NY than in LA
In addition, given that the LA area is 16% more 'minority' (even though Whites ARE a minority in LA) than NY, its sort of sad that LA isn't even more ahead of NY than it is.
Face it: LA is more dominated by Whites than NY is in terms of wealth. Neighborhoods, we all know its Mexican.
