Which Community/State has a large number of very similar people?

[Sweating in Florida]

My grandmother lives in Duluth, Minnesota. Duluth is a very old small city and I have been there before and have seen that there are practically all white people except for the few native Americans. They all dress alike in plain clothes and all have a similar mentality regardless of which side of town they are on - the rich east or the poor west.
Minneapolis is a different story with race, culture and origin and has variety. Minneapolis areas seem to have a good standard of living or quality of life for most people there equally and in the same compared to a lot of places. In my opinion, the twin cities area of Minnesota is a good place to live for any family as long as they don't mind the freezing weather and snow. I have never been anywhere that is like Minneapolis with it's quality of life for so many over all. I have lived in Many states as we are prior service, moved around after service and I have had experience working in different places.

Here in a certain part of Florida we have mostly older white people who look all the same and act the same and a lot of them are originally from small midwest towns. Here we have the rich retired, the rich white older snow birds and rich white older Europeans who have a VISA to run small businesses here and the rest is mostly lower class and the poverty stricken families. There are some Carribeans and South Americans and others here that try so hard to look, act and dress like all the rest to blend in regardless of their cultures.

This type of discussion annoys me to no end. Do you know all of these people on a personal level? How do you know that they are all the "same"?

Heck, there's quite a bit of diversity within my own immediate family. We all look and dress alike for the most part, but we are all VERY different.

A community that is 95% African American is still diverse if you look at what's important - what's INSIDE people. Same with a community that is 95% White or 95% Arabic. I get a little tired of the notion that a community is only diverse if it has a bunch of different ethnicities. Who cares what the people look like? EVERY PERSON IS COMPLETELY UNIQUE. Don't make a mountain out of a molehill.
