Asian.

Most of the midwest cities are fairly diverse between black and white, with much smaller numbers in hispanic, muslim, asian and indian nationalities.[/quote]

If you are looking for almost all white with a spattering of other races, it is the pacific northwest (spattering of asians) or the upper northeast (all white).

The midwest is not even close to being all white.[/quote]

Of course the midwest is not all white, but I think the PP was suggesting that it's mainly white people that would find themselves happier in the midwest than in DC (or another large city).[/quote]

Well, PP was wrong, and stupid. Diversity starts by understanding that not everyone and everything is black or white.[/quote]

Right...and you get more diversity in big cities like DC, than you get in the Midwest, where diversity is mostly black and white (with some Hispanic).[/quote]

Uh, you all need to get out more.  The entire country has changed over the last 25 years.  Every place is diverse and has some if not significant immigrant populations.  Are there corners that are still very white - yes.  But fewer and fewer.  Every rural places that you would think would be fairly unchanged have had significant population changes.  Is every place the SF Bay Area with majority minority populations?  No.  But everyplace is moving in that direction.  [/quote]

Let's look at Kansas City, since that has been the subject of lots of discussion.  60% white, 30% black, 10% hispanic (about 5% also classifying as white).  2.5% Asian. http://www.census.gov/quickfacts/table/PST045215/2938000

And now let's look at a race map of the city:

This is my point about the midwest (where I am from, by the way.)
