Uh-huh ... and LA, New York and Chicago are simply BASTIONS of racial harmony ...

Atlanta is not the black mecca it once was. It is increasingly becoming more white year after year. Atlanta will always be diverse.

Atlanta is very diverse, I seem to see a lot of it in my area. As you drive around the city pay attention to ppl driving other vehicles...they are not just black and white.

Please, as a black male, don't start that Black Mecca thing again. Not even in a poll.

Georgia itself will always be diverse.If you looking for more equal numbers.........

Columbus (city) QuickFacts from the US Census Bureau

Fulton County already has that.

For the record, a city doesn't necessarily have to be diverse to be world class. Look at Tokyo or Seoul, those cities have very homogenous populations.

Exactly.

NYC is a much older city that developed before the popularity in cars. Atlanta is a very young city, but is well on its way to becoming denser, see all the development in Midtown, Buckhead, and around the Eastside BeltLine. It is very diverse, especially when compared to other Sunbelt cities.

Please.. Atlanta will be the New Miami.. lots of puertoricans, Mexicans, Cubans, Colombians, Argentinian coming here...
To be honest.. Asians , Latinos (any race) and white will make up the majority of Ata.

What a biased poll. Fail. Diversity = world class city?

Once you go black you.....


But for the sake of our future, let's hope so. Diversity is one of America's greatest vices and allies. Let's see how it plays out in the realm.
