Check it out and let us know if you can be knowingly smug for living in the right place or outraged at the skewed data that didn't take into account x, y and z!

Of the vacuous rubbish that appears in Westchester magazine that article set a new low for contentless stupidity. Complete drivel.
Honestly, I think that the people on this board would be able to rank the towns better than the magazine did. Their methodolgy was truly comical - and highly flawed as noted. Some diversity is good, too much - not so much except in very rare instances where they have pockets of high-earning minorities (and no such areas exist in this county that I am aware of).
Can't wait to see what they come up with again this year.
The problem with homogeneity is that it can get a bit boring. Variety is the spice.
I think you and the other posters seem to read "all white" whenever the word "homogeneity" appears. Or conversely whenever, you see the word "diversity" you read "a lot of minorities." Don't take this too seriously, but that is being racists.
Next time when you see "homogeneity," replace it with the words "all black." That doesn't sound as boring does it?
Homogeneity is always a minus in any form: all black, all white, all Hispanics, all Chinese...etc. There is a reason why you are taught not to marry your siblings.
But back to the topic, the article does not fail because it gives a lot of weight to diversity. If you read it, diversity is only 7%.
oh and by the same, lest you get your same spectacles on as previously, I'm not talking about "all white". In my particular instance its all asian, but take your pick.
Then don't visit anywhere outside the urban areas of the U.S and Europe.
Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Pacific are, by and large, dreadfully homogenous.
