As a musician, I think that diversity is important. I think that as a musician, it would be easier to incorporate diversity into my general frame of mind through touring and a diverse fanbase. Since musicians are viewed so highly in the public's eye in our culture, artists have a real place to have a stage for promoting things such as diversity and genuine integration.

Thirty years from now, I think that because our generation has stressed so strongly the idea of coexisting and having a diverse environment, I believe that we will be more diverse and willing to be in contact with people different than us. The generation before us did not place integration and hamony between peoples as much as our generation has. Thus, I believe that we will be more successful in being open to the idea of prioritizing our housing based on if people are like us, etc.

For me, I think that I am pretty openminded about this. I wouldn't really be bothered at all by living in a very diverse neghborhood, for example, but I know that the reality is that people would rather be comfortable. People that are very similar like to live in close proximity because it is more comfortable. It feels more secure. Although I think a more diverse neighborhood would maybe more interesting and less dull, it might bring some uncomfortable feelings among some, which ultimately deters them.
