Miami, Boston, New York Everyone likes to agree with new york and miami the reason i choose boston is because the races in the city are split african american and irish american i say this because boston has had riots because of resegregating the blacks into irish parts of boston and for awhile there was the largest ammounts of skinheads and straight edge in boston in the country. Its not as bad as it use to be but its still very segregated. Im not saying the irish are racist in boston but alot of the community dont want other races in it.
Pretty much. Toronto has outdone essentially every other city in the world in being hugely diverse yet integrated, safe, clean, and an attractive destination for the immigrant from the developing world and developed world alike.
In the US, my thoughts would be Columbus, Sacramento, Seattle, Denver, Houston, pretty much almost all of the integrated cities here are in the West. And even none of those compare to integration in Canada.
I don't mean to offend anyone, but the vast majority of US cities not mentioned are very segregated. Worst of all in the rust belt, St. Louis, Milwaukee, and Detroit, where huge amounts of black and white unskilled labour moved and eventually lost their jobs.
The Northeast? Give me a break. There are things the Northeast does better than every other region, transit, economy, diversity, etc. But integration is not one of those. I could not, with a clear conscience, tell any unsuspecting fool that DC, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, or Boston were havens of ethnic mingling.
Many Southern cities may be mixed, practically speaking, but it is because of the large number of blacks and certainly not for lack of want to keep it the opposite. There are fewer dichotomies, but it doesn't mean that people necessary get along better.

I think that if you want to live in a more integrated city in the Northeast, you are better off living in what I call a mid major or smaller city. Syracuse is better than the bigger cities in the region. College towns in the region seem to be better too. In NY State, I would say that cities like Ithaca, Elmira, Rome or pretty much a city where the people have to use centralized places. What I mean by centralized places is that many of these cities usually just have 1 High School for example.
I admittedly don't know much about the mid sized cities, but I cringe when I hear people speaking of the large ones as if they're just light years ahead of everyone else.
