Diversity is Not Homogeneous

Well East Coast girls are hip
I really dig those styles they wear
And the Southern girls well they way they talk
They knock me out when I'm down there
The Midwest farmers' daughters
Really make you feel alright
And the Northern girls with the way they kiss
They keep their boyfriends warm at night
--Beach Boys

Although diversity is the natural state, that does not mean that it is homogenous or equitably distributed. It can be patterned and territorial. Generally, the more local the area, the less diversity.

Diversity is more apparent when the lens is widened toward the big picture.

Trying to force diversity into local areas is liable to result in negative consequences.
