Like I really can't; I'm an Afro-Latino, and you're White, so maybe that's plays in the different experiences? I don't know. I just can't see the glaring differences. As I said before, Birmingham has a bit larger Hispanic presence, but if we're talking about Racial Harmony, they're about on the same scale.
You hit the nail here. JM is a white guy so he’s only speaking from a white experience.
I guess its all relative, but no one can say they live in a purely racially harmonious city because that statement isnt true of any place on earth ever.
Atlanta - Atlanta is harmonious on a street level but in reality the black folks there are ok if the city was 100% black.
I'm not arguing that Atlanta is a contender here but I'm not sure how what you're saying (and there's no objective way to prove it) makes it a racially unharmonious place.
This link shows the demographics of various cities in the 2010 census.
Western cities tend to be more integrated, but have more racial gang violence (Well California TBH). A city like Atlanta even as large as it is still has the shocking divide of North is for others, mostly White, and the Southern half is for Blacks with the exceptions of Peachtree City.
Houston's older areas the inner loop and areas immediately outside of it are pretty mono-racial. But the outer areas especially the SW area is incredibly diverse.

A lot of that has to do with the relatively bigger Asian and Hispanic populations.
NYC is way more diverse than LA and I agree with your statement. LA is like 70 percent Mexican not that diverse.
According to data from the 2010 Census, there are 185 different languages spoken at home in Greater Los Angeles. New York metro, with a much larger population, had 192.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that not all 185 languages are from Mexico. (eyeroll).
What racial tension in NYC? Are you talking about stuff that happened in the 80s and 90s?
If you're gonna bring up police brutality, that happens in every city and it seems like it's been a while since NYC had an incident anyway?
There are now racial tensions in NYC between the Asian community and black community, with many anti-Asian hate crimes and attacks being committed by African Americans in NYC recently. Let's not pretend that any city in the US, no matter how diverse or big, is immune from racial animosity. Sadly it exists everywhere

Not sure how much of that is mental health related rather than some kind tension at the community level.

It would be one thing if it were isolated incidents or mental health related, but the attacks seem calculated and deliberately racially motivated.
