Two of Houston's suburbs are actually significantly more diverse than the city itself, so it's very difficult to compare.

I get what you're saying, but I think that's a different issue. This brouhaha is in large part response to a very specific claim citing 2010 Census numbers that Houston is the most diverse city in the US. Some people like Private Dick have raised valid questions about this claim (e.g., How is diversity being defined? How is diversity being measured?), but I haven't seen much of a response to those questions from the people who keep promulgating it.
