First question:

Yes, diversity is good. But if you live in a not so diverse place, that's not necessarily bad.

Second question:

How could people be forced to live in a diverse area?

Unless you are a child, you are free to do whatever the hell you want and live where ever you want in this country.

This is speaking generally about diversity. Not specifically about race.
If you find yourself having to put a disclaimer at the bottom of your posts explaining why your posts aren't racist, then you might be a racist.

Vermont was also the first state in the US to legalize civil unions for gay couples so there is a history of helping minorities in the state.
A lot to do with it in my opinion.

Actually the data presented only represents the states that have been released.

Texas is the most diverse among the states whose data has been released by the 2010 Census.

Number 1 is still on the way.

Correction: Diversity, at least in most inner-cities, is code for "anti-integration and self-satisfying false justification of racial superiority for white and Asian hipsters and yuppie liberals."

Diversity is Albany Park in Chicago where it's not just black and white.
