I agree with "neither". Integration is definitely not on Boston's agenda and New York isn't particularly integrated either. Different groups of people definitely live in a few of the same neighborhoods in New York - I've seen it - but the intersection often stops there... "Clannish" in my experience can be an understatement. There's almost literally a neighborhood or sub-neighborhood for every ethnic group that lives in NYC... That in and of itself makes a case of sorts against New York being integrated. Extremely diverse, yes. Integrated, no.

Lol, beyond ridiculous. I love it when you stated "There's almost literally a neighborhood or sub-neighborhood for every ethnic group that lives in NYC... That in and of itself makes a case of sorts against New York being integrated. Extremely diverse, yes. Integrated, no." Guess what? This proves New York has neighborhoods for every ethnicity, except probably Mexican. Every neighborhood has their own architecture, food, feel, culture, etc. Thanks for the compliment! And as for your clannish comment, SF lacks ethnic neighborhoods. They are more "integrated", correct? Their integration is why the majority has never heard of ethnic neighborhoods outside of Chinatown in SF. And we all know SF was the Mecca for Chinese oppression and slavery, what a shameful past! Do not even bother responding, I'm not returning.

Lol so my post is ridiculous but you reiterate everything I said and then attempt to put some lame booster spin on it. Smh if everyone has their own neighborhood clearly they're not living in the same neighborhoods, ergo they're not integrated. Spin your way out of that one.
The only city in the NYC area I've personally seen that's actually integrated is Jersey City.
Since Boston regularly shows up on lists for the least integrated cities in America, the answer is clear.
Care to share where you get this from? To use you as an example, Milwalkee is a city that (I'm pretty positive) is much more segregated than Boston. And I'm still pretty sure that Boston tops NYC in this regard as well.
Whether integration is good or bad or neither or whatever is another discussion, but on this topic I do think Boston is certainly not the least integrated city in America...
Look at the link posted for NYC on the first page. Hold your mouse over all the patches where there are various colors and it should say Jackson Heights, Flushing etc. Pretty simple process to grasp really. In NJ, the only city I have personally been spent a decent amount of time was Elizabeth and that was pretty integrated as well.
