Not really, no. Especially in cities and immediate suburbs, the Midwest has diversity and is welcoming of new people. Maybe you should come to Chicago or Cleveland or Columbus or Milwaukee sometime and see for yourself.

Milwaukee, seriously? I've family who live there and I visit regularly. There is a higher percentage of African Americans there than in the Bay Area, but diversity beyond that is practically non-existent (by comparison).

Midwest cities will often be black or white, very few Asians, Indians, etc. And very segregated. Look at Milwaukee for instance: http://mediad.publicbroadcasting.net/p/wuwm/files/styles/med...

Detroit and Chicago are not much different.

Cleveland is not diverse compared to most US cities, it's below average.
