Oakland, Calif., except in the poorest parts, is ethnically diverse, and in many neighborhoods that’s so on a house to house basis. But as is well- known, Bay Area housing is high, though salaries tend to be higher as well.
The groups of friends I had when I lived in Chicago were very diverse. Off the top of my head one of them my friends were from India, Mexico, Thailand, Brazil, Colombia, China, South Korea, UK, Italy, Mongolia, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Ukraine, Russia..probably forgetting some as well as Americans who were both African American and White. I never had a problem there finding a diverse group of friends TBH. Actually it's more diverse than what I have in NYC, but a different ball game so you can't compare 100%. I just don't care much about making new friends anymore here in NYC.
Orlando qas by far my most diverse group of friends. Puerto Ricans, Colombians, Dominicans, Mexicans, Trinidadian, Brits, Brasilians, Venezuelans, Filipino, Chinese, African American, White American, Jamaican, etc.. so many Cultures
My school in Boston suburb was very diverse as well, Nigerian, Senegali, Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, Jamaican Cape Verdean, Puerto Rican, Salvadoran, Togoan, Portuguese, Haitian, etc. (Friends) But Orlando is extremely diverse in every neighborhood so it wins hands down
New York was the most segregated of the 3. It seems in the city, Puerto Ricans talked to Puerto Ricans, Whites to Whites, etc.
As much as I dont like Orlando... The diversity and racial tensions are great.

Which are the nice areas and neighborhoods in Oakland (esp. in regard to safety)?

Very interesting! It seems Orlando is similar to Houston in that regard then. Orlando has never been on my radar but maybe now it is. What about Orlando don't you like? What do you like if anything? Which neighborhoods would you recommend?
not Boston-nice city. extremely diverse racially and ethnically in city itself and the urban area(s) but still quite segregated. White-dominated power structure, with an influential african american here or there. Drop off to 85%+ white areas is quick in the suburbs with a few high density ethnic/minority downtrodden cities spread around. Most black people there are lower middle class wleaht little to no wealth.There are some well-off Black people in the area but not a critical mass.
All true. I will point out that certain “suburbs” such as Cambridge and Medford are still somewhat diverse and are less segregated than Boston proper.
Pretty much every major U.S. metro is diverse and fairly segregated, Houston included.
Hmmm. I mean, of course there are areas that are more dominated by certain groups of people but in my opinion, based on living there my whole life aside from now, there are also plenty of areas that are very integrated. I was living in a nice area of Sugar Land before moving to London, south of 59, and there were black people like myself, white people, asian, hispanic and more. I’m not familiar with any area east of downtown or the north eastern part of Houston so can’t speak to those areas. West University, Upper Kirby and that general area gets more white but there is still some diversity.

Yeah, I was surprised that in terms of the Boston area that both weren't mentioned for this thread. Same in regards to Malden or even parts of other suburban cities(Milton, Quincy, Somerville, etc.).

Yes but some (Orlando, Houston, Austin etc) are more inclusive and people mingle in diverse groups. Whereas some places (Defroit, NYC, etc) may appear diverse or not, but its very common to be frowned upon for linking interraically. Theres a huge difference between an area being diverse on paper and its population actually being in a situation to mingle and interact
