For example, in Washington Heights and Golan Heights, what does “heights” mean? What does it tell us about the place?

      Globally the US doesn’t rank that high in language or ethnic diversity. Essentially all of Africa is more diverse both ethnically and linguistically. If you want to look at religious diversity, the US doesn’t rank that high either.

      Having lots of very small communities of immigrants in a society that primarily speaks 1 language and is majority one religion is not that diverse.
