Southern California, whether it be in LA, San Diego, or the suburbs, has a more uniform spread of the formerly-mentioned groups than metro NYC has of the latter-mentioned groups. Metro NYC outside of the City itself is still pretty heavily Caucasian, at least when compared to suburban areas of Southern California.
The Los Angeles metro area has a slight edge over New York when it comes to racial diversity. You can literally find people from EVERY background in the LA area.

Are you sure about that?
The racial makeup of the county was 44.08% White, 20.01% Black or African American, 0.50% Native American, 17.56% Asian, 0.06% Pacific Islander, 11.68% from other races, and 6.11% from two or more races. 24.97% of the population were Hispanic or Latino of any race.
European nationalities can be found at Queens County alone.
In Queens, 48.5% of the population are foreign-born. Of that, 49.5% were born in Latin America, 33.5% in Asia, 14.8% in Europe, 1.8% in Africa and 0.4% in North America.

48% of people in Queens are foreign-born. Enough said.
44.8% percent of people in Queens are white, but not "American" white. Most are straight-off-the-boat Europeans
20% are African-American.
17.56% are Asian.
25% are Hispanic or Latino.
Queens has the largest Colombian, Peruvian, and Ecuadorian population in New York City. Also, 50% of all Asians living in New York City live in Queens. Queens has the largest Chinese, Filipino, Pakistani, Indian, Korean, and Bangladeshi population in New York City.
And that's only Queens borough imagine with the other boroughs.

LA mainly have Mexicans. That is not diversed. In NY you can find every nationalities of Hispanics, Whites, Blacks, and Asians.
It's true that LA has a lot of Mexicans, but it also has a lot of many other kinds of people (and it has a lot more Asians which is an incredibly diverse group seeing as how Asia is the most diverse, largest, and most populous continent with many peoples having long, distinct ethnic identities).
Furthermore, while four of the five boroughs are incredibly diverse, much of the rest of NYC's metro is much less diverse. LA county as single entity may be less diverse percentage-wise than Queens, for example, but it encompasses a lot larger population and proportion of the LA metro than Queens, the Bronx, or Brooklyn does. If we do as you say and imagine the amount of ethnic diversity beyond just Queens, the picture doesn't change all that much as much of the rest of NYC's metro isn't nearly as diverse as Queens is. So when we're talking about metros, it is certainly arguable that socal is more diverse than the nyc metro.
