Seriously , who cares ? Live in a really diverse city ? (whatever that's supposed to mean anyway) .... good for you . You get a cookie . Live in a place that's %98 whatever ethnic group you care to name ... good for you again .
I'm a foreigner living in China . Frankly , I like being part of a tiny minority in this rather homogenous country . If I want to experience the world , I can always go to some other part of it . "Diversity" just makes everywhere the same .
If you're a minority living in a homogeneous country and nobody fucks with you and there are laws/protection against discrimination, than it's fine. But often, that's not the case.

And, some of us love a lot of different cultures and it's good to be able to experience them in some way, like food or music, without having to go that far.
