Cool blu
On my way to work this morning,
I was people watching.
There were young people, middle aged people, older folks,
people of all colors of the rainbow,
people of various economic backgrounds and abilities.
The diversity of San Francisco is just awe-inspiring.
We may not necessarily like each other, but
we tolerate one another,
and all share the great little city called
San Francisco.
That's why SF (never call it Frisco!) is more like a salad bowl than a melting pot. Each group maintains its own flavor, but everyone's all mixed together in one bowl.

Yes, San Francisco is diverse, but only on the surface. Most people still tend to hang out with their "own kind" on their personal time. To what extent can we be fully integrated?
Nevertheless, at work I am amazed at the diversity I see around me. I was in a meeting one day and realized that we were a group including a latina, an african american gay man, a caucasian, and an asian american. It was pretty cool that this was all very natural, not any forced diversity.
SF may be diverse only on the surface, but at least it is a start. Some locations in the US don't even have such visual diversity.
Diversity helps people get accustomed to things and people that they are not used to. Some people freak out if they see something a little different from the norm because they've never been exposed. Growing up in a diverse city is like being inoculated.
