Where I work in Houston, it's very diverse and ethnically mixed. We have a Lebanese with Columbian wife, Cuban with American wife, 2 Mexican guys with American wives, Nigerian guy with African American wife, Vietnamese with black BF, Vietnamese guy with Mexican wife, Mexican with El Salvadorian husband, Mexican with El Salvadorian wife, Taiwanese with white husband, white guy with wife from Hong Kong, black guy with Filipino GF, El Salvadorian with American wife, Dominican with Mexican GF, Virgin Island with American wife, Indian with Mexican wife and Honduran with Guatemalan wife. More than half my co workers are with someone from different race/ethnic group. We all get along very well and our Thanks Giving's pot luck is like an international buffet

My job is pretty much the same in DC, just in the immediate circumference of my desk:
Somalian
Bolivian
Tunisian
Pakistani
Trinidadian
Salvadorian
Nigerian
Iranian
Taiwan
2 African American locals who grew up here
A white guy transplant from North Carolina
Another black guy from North Jersey.
That's within about 18 feet of my desk.

Yeah that's why I said DC and Houston are the winners here. If you break this list down in tiers, I'd say
Tier 1 DC - Houston
Tier 2 Dallas - Atlanta
Tier 3 Philadelphia
Tier 4 New Orleans
Tier 5 Charlotte - Baltimore
Tier 6 Pittsburgh - Charleston - Savannah
Just because there's ethnic communities in New York doesn't mean its not a melting pot. There's a lot of New Yorkers with various ethnic mixes in their backgrounds, even if they primarily only identify with one ethnicity.

While I get what your saying, the dude was talking about interracial and interethnic relationships. Many schools have huge diversity in student body but not many schools are so diverse that interethnic and interracial relationships are almost equal to the number of relationships within the same racial or ethnic group. In fact I don't think their is a public school were this is true in the whole of the U.S while their are certainly smaller charter/private/home schools were this maybe true.
