I am "diverse" culturally and was surprised by how diverse Milwaukee is, i live on the east side, near the north shore villages. I don't think you should assume that there is a lack of diversity, cultural or religious. We moved from EOTP DC and i grew up in NW DC so while there might not be "fancy" BIPOC, there are tons of immigrants and people from all over.My kids can even take mandarin after school- when we had school and I'm sure the Madison schools are even better b/c of the University. We hear people speaking foreign languages walking around here as well , maybe a little more russian and polish and less french than DC but you'd be surprised. there are a lot of palestinians (yummy middle eastern food) lots of asians as there usually are in university towns (im asian). For some reason a lot of eastern europeans and Russians, like as many there used to be in Dc in the 80s in my childhood. Madison is super progressive and the farmers market is amazing. I didn't know you could cross country ski at the arboretum! so psyched to do that this winter since everything else is no go b/c of COVID.
So basically shades of white diversity.
