Title: Diversity, mangled
Review: This is a dishonest book.The authors claim to have invented a `diversity measure' for each place, giving the percent odds the next person you meet on the street will be of a different ethnic origin than your own. They peg the U.S. average at 54 percent.They say, ". . . diversity makes a place a better place to live," and that it "brings value in differing points of view, differing interests, and different cultures to learn from."Now for this book's dirty little secret: By their own figures, almost all of the 100 places they feature are less diverse than America.You can't have it both ways. If you're going to piously celebrate diversity, stop steering readers away from diverse Dallas or Charlotte or Chattanooga to lily-white Flower Mound, Matthews, or Hixson.
