Woodbury has lots of Indian and Asian descent people. Eagan is where I live now and it seems to be more culturally diverse than other eastern, northern, and southern suburbs. I dont know about western or southwestern suburbs.

I'm glad this is happening actually. I live in the Dallas area, I don't like Dallas at all and think Minneapolis is a much nicer city but the suburbs there were far more diverse than the ones here. There was also a much higher presence of Black, Hispanic, and Asian middle class and upper middle class professionals. It's starting to happen up there somewhat but you guys need to keep going at it.

City folk are pretty ignorant when it comes to this kind of thing so you should probably link to a few examples just to show them.

Since you are unable to cite even one such post, then folks will just have to assume that you are exaggerating. Those of us who are familiar with these exchanges know that no such thing ever happened.
