However, I would just add that even though Jackson Heights is considered to be one of the most diverse places anywhere, the black population is not all that high percentage-wise. I don't know details about Astoria but it always seems very diverse when I am there.
In JH there is a small Russian population (I occasionally hear Russian spoken on the street) and there is a tiny Russian grocery store called Grourmet Fantasy Foods.

Interesting. Yeah, the white/black thing, esp. white woman seems to be the more difficult overall for some reason... Even here, a black/Latino person is more acceptable,and the Latino's have thier ill-will towards blacks more than whites... so it gets tricky all the way around. I will check out those cities as well. My search seems exhausting! I appreciate any help in getting it narrowed down to a feasible location for us to relocate to. Thank you. ~Liz
