I never realized it but yes NY and Florida’s demographics are eerily similar. I haven’t put NY up there because I really do think it’s essentially the same as 1990, just less white. Same for NJ. Always been diverse and had the same image. Growth in minority populations has occurred as expected, where expected.
Florida has seemingly had a role reversal between balck and Hispanics and a huge surge in northerners. And a shift in politics toward the left pretty dramatically.
Yeah Florida is pretty cosmopolitan especially South Florida. A lot of people in South Florida forget that they are in the South (the nonwhite natives that is and those whose parents moved from up north). North Florida is pretty much classic Florida with mostly Black and White but here in Jacksonville you have a strong Southeast Asian community and a growing Hispanic population. Jacksonville has the largest Flipino community in the south. Jacksonville is still a pretty Black and White city but it definitely benefits from being in Florida.
I don't get how you could have left Tennessee out of the Mix here, especially how much things have changed in and around all 4 of its Major metros, not to mention Booming Nashville with its large Kurdish and Hispanic population and on up into Clarksville, TN of all places, very diverse area. Hispanics are running high numbers in Tennessee right now,,, should be in your list up top...

Some interesting information in regards to the bolded section...

Because TN is the closest state to MA in non Hispanic white population and I’ve been watching MA diversify and approach and then past Tennessee for about a decade. I’ll take another look but I may be biased against TN because it’s a state I’ve used as comparison to MA for a long time and I’ve watched as MA diversified much more quickly than Tennessee.
It also just strikes me as a states gaining a lot of young whites from the Midwest and the north. That’s the only large change I’ve been aware of. A growing but still small Mexican population could be said about the vast majority of states.
Suburbs like Central Islip NY that we’re only 62% white in 1990 I would expect to diversify a lot because they were already considered highly diverse for the time. In other words, you could see it coming. Most changes in NJ and NY anyone could easily see coming. Still, the rate of diversification there has definitely been substantial-as it has for the entire urban northeast.

You might want to check that and it does deserve to be included just as North Carolina, Georgia, or any of the other southern states you have included especially in recent years. Immigration from out side the US in Tennessee made a net increase of almost 67,000. Not to mentions people of all races relocating to TN from the Northeast, Midwest, Florida, California, etc... You couldn't have been to Nashville or Tenn lately to not know how large the Hispanic population is their..

I had a High School civics teacher who was stationed in TN in the 90s and he saw Mexicans back then.

The Mid-Atlantic has been pretty diverse for decades New England is just starting to catch up.

Most of the significant demographic change in MA/RI i think began in the mid 2000s and CT probably sometime in the early/mid 1990s.
MA/RI is probably 25-30 years behind NY/NJ demographically. Connecticut is more like 20 years behind.
The rate of change in Southern New England has been pretty rapid but I doubt they will ever be as diverse as NY/NJ because those states continue to quickly diversify as well.
