Huh? That’s not “racist” at all.

Santa Barbara has a fairly high Latino/Hispanic population, like 40%. There’s basically no black people and a minuscule number of Asians.

So if that’s you’re definition of “diverse,” then look at other California cities on the beach: San Diego, Encinitas, Carlsbad, Long Beach, Dana Point, Torrance, Santa Monica, Oxnard, Ventura, Pismo, Aptos, Santa Cruz, etc.

There are a few cute parts of Norfolk, but it’s no Santa Barbara.

Norfolk and Virginia Beach are night and day.
Norfolk can be outright dangerous especially at night.

PP here and I live in Norfolk, so I’m quite familiar. There are some cute parts that are not dangerous, but probably not quite what OP’s looking for.

VB has its hefty share of violence as well.

I do not consider the vineyard to be cape code. And yes diverse in a lovely way.

Martha's Vineyard is not diverse.

This is the opposite of the definition of a diverse coastal town. Well, it is coastal.

Definitely not diverse with about 95% white.

Diverse in what way?
